The Snapper card is a contactless electronic ticketing card used to pay for bus and train fares in Wellington, New Zealand.[1][2][3][4] It was introduced in Wellington in July 2008. Another version – the Snapper HOP card – was introduced to Auckland in 2011 and withdrawn from Auckland in late 2013.[5] Snapper CityLink cards were introduced in Whangārei in March 2014 and withdrawn in September 2018.[6] It was owned by Snapper Services Limited, a former subsidiary of Infratil until 2019 when it was sold to ICM Limited, a subsidiary of Allectus Capital.[7]
