Nz Public Transport

Explain how to start using public transport in New Zealand cities, including transport cards, local transit apps, airport-to-city setup, fare basics, student concessions, and city-specific differences such as Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. Use when Codex needs to help a user get around after arrival or compare transport setup steps by city. For current fares, concession rules, app names, and card availability, verify the latest official local transport authority sources first and update the skill reference if information has changed.

NZ Public Transport

Overview

Use this skill to answer first-arrival and day-to-day public transport questions in a city-specific way. Transport cards, fare systems, and concession eligibility vary by region, so current details must be verified from the correct local authority.

Workflow

Identify the user's city or likely city.
Determine whether they need:
- airport to accommodation
- local transit card setup
- student concession guidance
- app recommendations
- intercity versus city transit clarification
Read references/current-guidance.md.
Verify city-specific current information on official transport sites before answering with exact current details.
If the user does not specify a city, ask or give a city-split answer.

Source Order

Official local transport authority page for the relevant city
Official transit app pages if needed
Airport or regional transport pages for arrival-specific questions

Answering Rules

Default to city-specific answers.
Separate:
- local public transport
- intercity buses or trains
- airport transfer options
Mention student concessions only after checking current city rules.
For first-week advice, prioritize:
- how to pay
- whether a physical card is needed
- whether an app alone is enough
- the easiest way from airport to temporary housing
