It's here! 🎉

Metro's new Route 110 is now connecting Aranui, New Brighton, and The Palms.

This new 12-month trial service has been shaped by community feedback and local advocacy, helping improve public transport options for Aranui residents.

Thank you to everyone whose mahi helped make this happen.

We can't wait to welcome you on board. 💚

Attention Rolleston commuters 🚌

From 10 August, the Rolleston/City Direct bus trial (Routes 84 & 85) moves under Metro's wing.

What's changing:
✅ Later trips included for shift workers
✅ Standard Metro fares ($3 or less) on all trips with Metrocard or contactless payments
✅ Free transfers within two hours, plus weekly fare caps
✅ Bike racks on all buses
✅ Board and disembark from inside the Bus Interchange, not Lichfield St
✅ Audio announcements for improved accessibility
🙋‍♂️ Rolleston Hail and ride options will continue. The trial will continue until its June 2027 review.
👉 Minor timetable changes listed at metro.co.nz/RollestonDirect

Thanks to Bentley Coachlines for their mahi over the past 11 months and helping get this trial off the ground 🙌

Tomorrow we celebrate the reappearance of Puaka-Matariki in the winter sky - the stars that signal the beginning of the Māori New Year in Te Waipounamu. ✨

Matariki is a time to reflect on the year that has been, remember those who have passed, acknowledge the blessings we have, reconnect with our environment, and reset for the year ahead. 🍃

This weekend, take time to look up and connect with the stars that tell the story of navigation to Aotearoa. While travelling through the Bus Interchange, keep an eye out for the artworks and carvings woven through the walls, ceilings, and floors that also share this story. 🌬️

Looking for ways to celebrate Matariki during the school holidays? Let Metro take you there. Use our Journey Planner to plan your trip and enjoy festivities across Christchurch. Our network will operate to a Saturday timetable on Friday 10 July. Our Metroinfo counter and contact centre will operate from 9am to 5pm. 🚌
