# route 81, Christchurch

37 stops the record says route 81 calls at, through 3 suburbs, the 25th most-served route in the stop record.

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 this is as current as the last bake, not as the last timetable. A suburb is the one the stop’s own coordinates fall inside.

The driven path drawn on the page comes from Metro’s current GTFS feed (Mobility Database mirror mdb-1313, CC-BY 3.0 NZ), a fresher record than the stop layer where the two disagree.
