Commuters in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch would pay no more than $20 a week for public transport under a $65 million-a-year Labour election promise.
In other regions, the cost-of-living weekly cap would be set at $10, according to Labour.
It's one of the first, if not the first, major policy initiatives announced by Labour ahead of November's election. The party has spent months holding out on big election pledges.
Leader Chris Hipkins was joined by spokesperson for transport Tangi Utikere and spokesperson for Auckland Carmel Sepuloni at the announcement.
