We've introduced new bus locators at bus stops around the city to make it easier for you to find your bus as part of a wider project to improve the real-time information across the bus network.

Bus locatorImproved accessibility

The new bus locators have been selected with accessibility in mind.

They are easier to see, hear and operate, and are being placed at an appropriate height for wheelchair users.

Improved usability

The bus locators use satellite-fed data so that bus arrival times are more accurate.

The upgrade also included better journey planning tools including a new Metro mobile phone application.

Funding these changes

This work was part of the real-time information project, a collaboration with Environment Canterbury, to improve the accuracy and accessibility of bus information. 

The bus locators at bus stops are funded and maintained by Christchurch City Council, and the information and data are funded and maintained by Environment Canterbury.
