Meanwhile, in Auckland, the New Zealand Herald reports passengers face a lucky dip today over which type of electronic Hop card will get them to work or classes.
The newspaper says NZ Bus was over the weekend changing 140 of its 294-strong Metrolink fleet from its purple Snapper Hop card to Auckland Transport's dark blue version, ready for this morning's rush hour.
That follows a changeover last month on 162 North Star buses operating from its Glenfield depot.
Auckland Transport is guarded over just which cards will operate on which bus routes from today, saying passengers should be armed with both versions, or carry cash.
