Free buses kick off new public transport plan consultation
Public consultation opens today on the draft Regional Public Transport Plan, and Environment Canterbury has announced that this Saturday, 22 September, travel on its bus network will be free. Saturday is World Car-free Day.
Greater Christchurch Public Transport Joint Committee member and Environment Canterbury chair Steve Lowndes says that providing free public transport on World Car-free Day is an opportunity for people to try their local service, leave the car at home for the day, and to think about the sort of public transport system needed across Greater Christchurch.
Consultation is open until Sunday 14 October, with information and a full list of community events available at ConnectCanterbury.co.nz or by calling 03 366 8855. Read more here
