It’s been 10 months since my last update on public transport patronage in Christchurch so well overdue for another one.
It dropped off massively through covid and stayed down through the subsequent bus driver shortages. It spent most of last year trying to claw its way back and so far this year has been pretty close to pre-covid levels. I think credit needs to go to Ecan staff for getting through those tough operational challenges and out the other end.
