2-zone fare structure

This structure would see adult bus travel within a district cost $3.

Travel between districts (e.g. Rolleston to Christchurch city) would be $4. For example, bus journeys within the Christchurch district boundary would be $3 when a customer tags off, or less if a customer has a concession.

A trip completed within Selwyn or Waimakariri (e.g. from Rangiora to Kaiapoi) would also be $3 when they tag off, or less with a concession. But if you were travelling from Rolleston or Rangiora into Christchurch city, the fare would be $4, or less if a customer has a concession, because you would cross into another zone.

Maintaining a simple fare structure

This fare structure maintains the simplicity of consistent fares for the most common trips on the Metro network (travel within Christchurch) and limited added complexity, with the higher fare generally being associated with longer trips.

As with the current flat fare, the structure would include a higher price for ferry travel ($5).
