# The buses of Christchurch, every route in the stop record 36 routes in Environment Canterbury’s Metro stop layer, ranked by the stops each calls at. The layer sits in ECan’s Beta tree, current as the last bake, not the last timetable. The HTML page draws the network: 30 driven paths from Metro’s current GTFS feed (Mobility Database mirror mdb-1313, CC-BY 3.0 NZ), in the colour each route wears. Where the feed and the older layer disagree on a number, the feed is the fresher record. Paying: since November 2025 a contactless card, phone or watch tags on like a Metrocard (same fares, no surcharge); concessions link at motumove.govt.nz. On 23 November 2026 Metrocard, SuperGold and cash stop being accepted, and tag-off applies. - [route 1](https://www.chch.live/buses/1), 207 stops, 10 suburbs - [route 60](https://www.chch.live/buses/60), 197 stops, 16 suburbs - [route 80](https://www.chch.live/buses/80), 169 stops, 17 suburbs - [route 5](https://www.chch.live/buses/5), 164 stops, 13 suburbs - [route 3](https://www.chch.live/buses/3), 156 stops, 16 suburbs - [route 140](https://www.chch.live/buses/140), 153 stops, 19 suburbs - [route 95](https://www.chch.live/buses/95), 150 stops, 7 suburbs - [route 7](https://www.chch.live/buses/7), 148 stops, 10 suburbs - [route 125](https://www.chch.live/buses/125), 141 stops, 13 suburbs - [route 130](https://www.chch.live/buses/130), 133 stops, 11 suburbs - [route 8](https://www.chch.live/buses/8), 133 stops, 15 suburbs - [route 27](https://www.chch.live/buses/27), 126 stops, 11 suburbs - [route 100](https://www.chch.live/buses/100), 124 stops, 14 suburbs - [route 44](https://www.chch.live/buses/44), 120 stops, 11 suburbs - [route 120](https://www.chch.live/buses/120), 108 stops, 8 suburbs - [route TL](https://www.chch.live/buses/tl), 107 stops, 0 suburbs - [the Orbiter (anticlockwise)](https://www.chch.live/buses/oa), 96 stops, 23 suburbs - [the Orbiter (clockwise)](https://www.chch.live/buses/oc), 94 stops, 23 suburbs - [route 135](https://www.chch.live/buses/135), 76 stops, 6 suburbs - [route 155](https://www.chch.live/buses/155), 64 stops, 6 suburbs - [route 86](https://www.chch.live/buses/86), 55 stops, 6 suburbs - [route 820](https://www.chch.live/buses/820), 54 stops, 1 suburb - [route 29](https://www.chch.live/buses/29), 51 stops, 5 suburbs - [route 107](https://www.chch.live/buses/107), 40 stops, 8 suburbs - [route 81](https://www.chch.live/buses/81), 37 stops, 3 suburbs - [route 97](https://www.chch.live/buses/97), 36 stops, 0 suburbs - [route 84](https://www.chch.live/buses/84), 33 stops, 3 suburbs - [route 85](https://www.chch.live/buses/85), 31 stops, 3 suburbs - [route 110](https://www.chch.live/buses/110), 20 stops, 4 suburbs - [route 91](https://www.chch.live/buses/91), 13 stops, 1 suburb - [route 87](https://www.chch.live/buses/87), 11 stops, 0 suburbs - [route 17](https://www.chch.live/buses/17), 10 stops, 4 suburbs - [route 92](https://www.chch.live/buses/92), 10 stops, 1 suburb - [the Orbiter](https://www.chch.live/buses/or), 5 stops, 3 suburbs - [route 28](https://www.chch.live/buses/28), 4 stops, 3 suburbs - [the Diamond Harbour ferry](https://www.chch.live/buses/f), 2 stops, 1 suburb ## Questions, answered briefly **How many bus routes does Christchurch have?** 36 routes in the stop record, calling at 3,078 platforms, the Greater Christchurch network in Environment Canterbury’s layer, not just the city’s. **Which Christchurch bus route serves the most stops?** 1, 207 stops in the record.
