Extra capacity on some Metlink train services and larger buses will be running for the upcoming Hurricanes vs Highlanders game on May 16, kicking off at 7:05pm, to reduce congestion and ease pressure on the wider transport system.

The Hutt Valley, Kāpiti and Johnsonville lines will be running with extra services added after the game.

Core bus routes will have increased capacity and Metlink recommends using a Snapper card to tag on and off, instead of cash, to access discounted fares.

The East-by-West ferry will be running at standard operating times and with cashless payments.

Plan ahead and travel early on game day using the latest travel information on the Metlink app, website, or by calling 0800 801 700.
