Christchurch Metro customer update - Thurs 16 Feb

Claire Nicholls from Metroinfo

Our situation with our Real Time Information disruptions and detours on the Blue Line and 145 Eastgate - Westmorland remain the same this afternoon. We are not expecting any change to those detours overnight unless emergency authorities lift road closures. Detailed information is below. We thank all our customers for your patience and understanding during this time.

Our Real Time Information systems continue to be affected by the fire and a number of buses are unable to be tracked. This means some buses will not show in our "next bus" online tools and most bus finders displaying the ETA's of buses on street will not work. It is likely that our systems will be affected for a number of days and we ask that if your bus does not appear on "next bus" tools that you use the bus timetables instead. Metro thank all fire fighters for their hard work and dedication to keeping our communities safe.​

As of Thursday 16 February two bus services are affected by the fire, they are;
- Blue Line - all trips will end at Princess Margaret Hospital, no trips will travel to Cashmere Hill
- 145 Westmorland - Eastgate - all trips will end and start their trips on Rose St until further notice.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
