Regional Public Transport Plan

Have your say on our plans for public transport before 5pm on Thursday 24 October.

A successful public transport system must reflect the community’s needs. That’s why we regularly update the Canterbury Regional Public Transport Plan, to ensure it mirrors our ever-changing and developing region.

Since we adopted the last plan in 2018 there have been some significant changes to our services. The refreshed plan outlines Canterbury’s current public transport network, intentions for the future and the policies we operate by.

Our regionwide transport services include Greater Christchurch Metro network, MyWay by Metro, Total Mobility and Community Vehicle Trusts.

We are seeking your feedback on our vision and priorities for Canterbury’s public transport and some changes we’re proposing to encourage more people to use public transport more often. We’re also considering allowing passengers to bring their pets on public transport under appropriate conditions and would like your input on this.

Public Transport Futures (PT Futures)/ Ngā Waka Tūmatanui Wāheke is our planned investment programme that sets out improvements to service frequency, routes and connections. It aims to enhance customer journeys by reducing travel times and increasing reliability

Now is the time for you to have your say! Download the consultation document (PDF, 5.2MB) or draft plan (PDF, 9.2MB) to find out more.
