The record behind this

Every stop comes from Environment Canterbury’s Metro stop layer, the platforms the buses call at and the routes the record says serve each one. The layer sits in ECan’s Beta tree, so the page is as current as the last bake, not as the last timetable. A suburb is the one the stop’s own coordinates fall inside.

Every route in the record is ranked at /buses. This page as markdown: /buses/8.md.
