Direct bus services connecting Rangiora and Kaiapoi to Christchurch have continued to be well-supported, despite the challenges of Covid-
19.
Environment Canterbury (ECan) says the Rangiora (91) and Kaiapoi (92) services have enjoyed a solid 18 months, since they were introduced in January 2021, despite the various challenges from Covid and driver shortages.
‘‘The past year has seen more people working from home and reluctant to use public transport due to an increase in community transmission of Covid-19,’’ an ECan spokesperson said.
‘‘Despite these circumstances, May 2022 was the best month for the Kaiapoi service since it began, and the Rangiora service has also performed well during May and June.’’
The Kaiapoi service had 2380 passengers in May, while the Rangiora service had well over 3816 passengers in May and 3382 in June.
Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon is a regular user of ECan’s bus service.
‘‘I use it myself when heading into Christchurch in the morning for regular council-related meetings and it’s fast, convenient, affordable and on-time - all things that a great bus service should be.
‘‘It’s great to see growth in the service from Kaiapoi and generally to see that more residents are using bus services.
‘‘For anyone who commutes to Christchurch for work, I’d strongly encourage you to give this service a go.’’
All other Waimakariri services have also shown an increase in patronage since half-price fares were introduced in April, the ECan spokesperson said.
Overall bus patronage for Greater Christchurch for the year to June 2022 was 8.7 million boardings, which was just two-thirds of pre-Covid service levels.
In contrast the MyWay bus service in Timaru has enjoyed patronage at 5.6% higher than pre-Covid levels, which will be good news for advocates hoping to bring the service to Waimakariri.
Last month, MyWay recorded its second highest number of rides in a day with 614, while daily average rides ranged from 490 to 580.
Similar on-demand trials in Greater Christchurch were being considered as part of ECan’s Long-Term Plan and the Canterbury Regional Public Transport Plan, the ECan spokesperson said.

Thought I'd post on here, as we have been urgently looking for 6months and still no luck. We would like to provide a stable home for our kids and now ready to settle down in one spot. We are wandering if anyone out there have any rental available in Rangiora area for a family of 4 and an outside cat? We are looking for a 2/3 bedroom house with a garage, long term 5+years. Preferably on the price range between $400-$500pw. We've just recently transferred the kids to Rangiora preschool/school so prefer it to be closer to Rangiora as we only have 1 vehicle and also closer to where i work. We have great references, reliable and are tidy small family. We have look on TM and some are either too far away or too pricey and so far no luck. So fingers crossed 🤞, someone on here, hears of something or someone needing a long term reliable tenant. TIA 😊.
Is your school looking for an outdoor activity to go to this term?
We are now taking bookings for Term 3, so be sure to book in as early as possible. We are filling up fast!
