Metro has moved to the Central Station Bus Station
On 25th October 2011 the temporary bus exchanges, set up after the 22nd February earthquake, at Parkside and Bealey Ave closed and the new purpose built Central Station opened at 46 – 50 Lichfield St. With the opening of the station most through routes are reconnected, some trips run later at night and new services have begun. Timetables for all routes in the Greater Christchurch Urban area are available on the timetables and maps page.
Due to ongoing earthquake repair work to the Eastern Suburbs in Christchurch there are some services that continue to be affected by detours, for a list of the latest detours please look at the Route Updates page. Also there are some routes that are no longer running. View a list of these services.
