Not sure whether it's a deal. If not, Admin please delete.

Metlink’s new fares, with new concessions for children and young adults, start Friday 1 September 2023, bringing ‘half price fares for all’ to an end. I've verified with customer service that purchasing a monthly pass before 1st of Sept allows us to continue benefiting from the half-price offer for an additional 30 days. This information isn't published on the website; it's just a hidden bonus.

I guess I will buy the pass on the night of the 31st of August so that I can start using it in September.

  Catching train for individual trips >~4 times a week makes it worth it for me.

  You can also purchase 2 passes per card.

    I was wondering about this. Can we buy it on the same day? Or do we need to activate one pass before we get the next one?

      Unsure, have to assume it uses the oldest first if you have 2 purchased but not activated, but their support would be the best way to find out.

    Confirmed that I could buy two monthly passes tonight without having to activate any of them today.

  Do you know if it can be used to pay for multiple people using one snapper?

    I'm not sure sorry, hopefully someone else could answer this.

    It's 1 person per card, can't do multiple, at least it's that way on the train, unsure about the bus.
