Poll: Do you think the latest public transport plan is right for Christchurch?

The Team

Christchurch's public transport is in for a shakeup, with more routes, more frequent buses and an emission-free fleet by 2030.

Christchurch's public transport is in for a shakeup, with more routes, more frequent buses and an emission-free fleet by 2030.

Within the next three years, authorities aim have bus services running every 10 minutes on the five core routes (Halswell to Queenspark, Hornby to New Brighton, Sumner to Avonhead, Belfast to Barrington, and the Orbiter), and a further four core routes (Lyttelton to the airport, Lincoln to New Brighton, Wigram to Prestons and Belfast to Cashmere) leaving every 15 minutes.

But to run these and other planned changes, it is forecasting an extra $9.26 million of ratepayer money would need to be found in the 2020/21 financial year. Planners are considering a regional fuel tax. What do you think about this?

Do you think that ratepayers should fork out the bill? What do you think about the current services? Read more here
