Firstly, all bus HOP (Snapper HOP) card users are eligible for a free AT HOP card. You can apply at www.athopsignup.co.nz

Secondly you don't NEED to buy the card. You can still purchase a paper ticket from ticket machines at the train station. But I've learned over the last few weeks that people don't like change... and all I can say is.. tough, walk then. lol

Get your money back for the old one or keep it as a collectable.

@Brad.The existing HOP/Snapper cards are for use on NZ Bus services only.
The much publicised issues with Snapper has seen those cards no longer acceptable/readable. Hence the need for a new card, known as AT/HOP for trains and ferries. From Monday they will be on sale for $5.

Why are we being made to pay AGAIN for another card when it was them who screwed up the system in the first place?
