Hamilton

Hamilton is a moderately sized city, however the CBD and shopping area is easily walkable. To get to other destinations, there is a bus service, provided by Environment Waikato. Bus routes and times are available online (http://busit.co.nz/hamilt...), but cover the whole city. A single way ticket costs $3.10 and lasts for one hour. If you intend to be using the bus service frequently, it may be worth investing in a BusIt card (http://busit.co.nz/Hamilt...), an electronic card that although costs $5, will possibly save you money due to the discounts it provides on fares - a single way ticket with a BusIt card costs $2.30 and there is an opportunity to buy a full Day Pass for $7.00.
