Community Services Card

If you have a current Community Services Card (CSC) you are eligible to receive half price fares on public transport.

An application is required to get this concession applied to a registered Bee card, so we recommend allowing plenty of time before your journey to apply prior to travel.

If you don't already have a Bee Card, your first one is free with the Community Connect scheme.

Please contact the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for any questions about the Community Services Card.
