Hamilton Map
Plan your visit to Hamilton with our handy maps.
Hamilton Transport Centre
Hamilton Transport Centre is located on the corner of Bryce Street and Anglesea Street. It is the central hub for passenger services in Hamilton, regional and national bus services.
BUSIT (Local Bus)
Waikato Regional Council is responsible for the region’s bus services. We operate 24 bus services within Hamilton as well as 12 regional services.
In total, our buses serve more than 1,000 bus stops and carry around four million passengers a year. And we try to ensure that our buses are as accessible as possible for those who are mobility, visually or hearing impaired.
The Transport Centre is situated on the corner of Bryce Street and Anglesea Street, Hamilton. Most of our bus services travel to and from the Hamilton Transport Centre. Inside the main building, we have a staffed BUSIT counter open from 8am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Come in and see us to find out anything and everything about buses, or to buy or top-up a Bee Card.
Flex into the city at night
You can use it to get to/from Hamilton CBD on Friday and Saturday nights from anywhere in the city boundary. The smaller buses provide a more direct link to where you need to go and are based around your timetable, not ours.
On a Flex bus, you're likely to share your ride with others heading in the same direction. Bookings are made via the app.
InterCity (National Bus)
New Zealand's most popular and largest bus network. InterCity operates over 100 daily services nationwide on modern vehicles designed for New Zealand conditions.
Travelling around New Zealand by bus is easy and economical with multiple departures from all main towns, cities and communities. Book online and save with our cheapest fares.
Purchase ticket online or at the Transport Centre.

Te Huia is the passenger rail service that connects Waikato to Auckland.
Capable of carrying over 500 passengers per day, Te Huia will transform the journey of Waikato commuters travelling between Hamilton, Huntly and Auckland.
Te Huia weekday services will begin travelling to The Strand in central Auckland to a new timetable when Te Huia resumes.
