New data reveals the “problematic” reality of catching the bus in Christchurch.
One in three buses were late leaving the interchange last year, and most bus stops do not have seats or shelter. However, few people complain.
Figures from Environment Canterbury show that of 370,500 buses departing the central city bus interchange in 2024, more than 121,000 were running at least five minutes late. A few hundred left more than a minute early.
