Amberley to Christchurch Bus Plan | Auckland News

Amberley could soon get its own direct bus route to Christchurch, thanks to Pegasus Bay Coachlines — a North Canterbury company stepping in to fill a major public transport gap. Currently, residents have no access to buses beyond local community shuttles, forcing long, costly trips to the city. With support from Environment Canterbury and a solid business plan, the privately funded service aims to run six days a week between Amberley and Kaiapoi for just $5, with discounts for students and seniors. CEO Charlotte Cassidy, a former Metro driver, is pushing for a direct route into central Christchurch — not just a stopover — using existing bus stops while avoiding taxpayer costs. This could be the long-awaited lifeline the Hurunui community has been waiting for. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
