Christchurch Bus Interchange

Very good facilities and easy to walk around and find information on the buses.

This bus transfer station is excellent, with convenient facilities. Each restroom is independent and user-friendly, and there is no charge for their use. The dispersed seating arrangement creates a relaxed atmosphere in the waiting area, and international power outlets are available for charging electronic devices. Nearby, there is a supermarket for those looking to browse. The station's appearance and structure are stunning, with clear signage and a comfortable environment. The quality of the space is outstanding, making it an ideal place to take a rest after a shopping trip.

Excellent central bus interchange. Big and spacious hub with plenty of space, seats and toilets. Information desk open during the day selling tickets and printed timetable leaflets and map available. Uses unusual concept of advising which ‘platform’ the service will go from and only confirms the actual stop within the platform area a couple of minutes before arrival. This is a clever way of avoiding situations where buses have to go from the wrong stop, which is often common elsewhere

A modern bus interchange that allows access to most of Christchurch bus services. They provide printed maps and timetables for bus services. TV screens display all bus services.nYou can also buy a bus pass for $5, if you plan using the buses regularly. The only negative is that at times it can be conjested by cruise ships passengers. Also, at time it attracts unsavoury people who are drunk or unsocial. The staff however are nice and friendly.

One of the poorest online experience I've had while trying to navigate going from point to point in Christchurch. Totally user unfriendly as bus routes and stops are not clearly marked out or shown on map. Clearly, it was designed for only local use with local knowledge.nnI also only found out from the Bus Interchange that bus routes all slightly differ at different times of the day. So, while the end point is the same, the routes may alter a bit presumably for traffic or consumer demands.nnAlso, note that there marked difference from using cash and a stored value Bus Card which depending on the usage gives us free rides. Again, this was omitted from the Christchurch Bus websites.nnBest to go personally to the Customer Service at the Interchange which i found to be professional and friendly & take the buses from here. Don't rely solely on bus stops as a guide as the Bus may not arrive due to change of routes.
