Motu Move is bringing new ways to pay for public transport across Aotearoa New Zealand. You will be able to use a contactless debit or credit card, smartphone, smartwatch, or prepaid Motu Move card.
Motu Move is now available in Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri.
When is Motu Move coming to Timaru?
For now, nothing is changing for MyWay by Metro or Timaru Metro services. You can continue to pay in the same way you do today.
For now, Timaru customers will continue to use existing payment options, including Metrocard, SuperGold card and the MyWay app.
These payment options will remain in place until the planned transition to Motu Move in early 2027.
As timelines and details are confirmed, we will provide further information to ensure you have plenty of time to understand and prepare for these changes.
Travelling to Christchurch? See Metro’s Christchurch webpage for more details about how to use Motu Move there.
