Timaru and Temuka have lost their lead roles to Christchurch in the national roll-out of Motu Move, a new New Zealand-wide public transport ticketing and payment system.
Environment Canterbury (ECan) confirmed the switch on Tuesday just nine days after it announced MyWay contact centre functions in Timaru were moving to its Christchurch-based Metro customer support team.
ECan said it would be customers in greater Christchurch who would now have the option in November of first using the $1.3 billion Motu Move system.
