In partnership with Transdev’s Howick & Eastern Buses subsidiary, technology provider Liftango has offered Aucklanders the chance to travel for NZ$1 on New Zealand’s newest on-demand service, MyMobigo, ahead of its official service launch on 30 November 2020.
MyMobigo offers commuters in East Auckland an on-demand service to and from the Half Moon Bay Ferry Terminal.

“The service is incredibly easy to use and puts the customer in control, with bookings, payments and real-time vehicle tracking available through the MyMobigo App.”
One dollar fares will be offered to customers who sign up first week of operation. Regular fares start at $4.50 for adults and $3.50 for concessions and children.
Sheryll Otway, General Manager for Howick and Eastern, said: “MyMobigo’s fleet of luxury vans provide a connection for customers to and from the Half Moon Bay Ferry Terminal.
