Bus Route Review 17 and 28

In June, Environment Canterbury and Waka Kotahi approved funding for the improvements to routes 17 and 28.

This includes:

  • Changing the 17 and 28 routes to a high- frequency Port-to-Port route and a new Northwood to Huntsbury route
  • The purchase of seven additional electric buses
  • A two-year trial of the Port-to-Port route with alternating services to Ara and Brougham St/Colombo St on weekdays
  • The Port-to-Port servicing the airport terminal stop and removing this stop from route 125

When will these changes happen?

The timing of these changes is yet to be confirmed as the current nationwide bus driver shortage would affect the implementation of some improvements, such as more frequent services. Our expectation is that these issues will be resolved in 2023 so that the above service changes can go ahead.
