Canterbury’s regional council plans to boost its Rangiora to Cashmere bus route – if it can get the funding.
Environment Canterbury (ECan) councillors and staff were joined by Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon, Christchurch city councillors, local MPs and NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) staff to mark the service uplift of the number 7 (Queenspark to Halswell) bus route on Monday, with five new electric buses added to the route.
In thanking ECan’s partners for their support, chairperson Craig Pauling reminded NZTA of its plans to add more electric buses to the number 1 (Rangiora to Cashmere) and 5 (Rolleston to New Brighton) bus routes to increase their frequency.
