Direct bus services connecting Rangiora and Kaiapoi to Christchurch have continued to be well-supported, despite the challenges of Covid-19. Environment Canterbury says the Rangiora (91) and Kaiapoi (92) services have enjoyed a solid 18 months, since they were introduced in January 2021, despite the various challenges from Covid and driver shortages. \
\
“The past year has seen more people working from home and reluctant to use public transport due to an increase in community transmission of Covid-19,” an ECan spokesman said. \
\
“Despite these circumstances, May 2022 was the best month for the Kaiapoi service since it began, and the Rangiora service has also performed well during May and June.”
