# the Orbiter (clockwise), Christchurch

94 stops the record says the Orbiter (clockwise) calls at, through 23 suburbs, the 18th most-served route in the stop record.

The loop's other half is [the Orbiter (anticlockwise)](https://www.chch.live/buses/oa), and [the plain-code page](https://www.chch.live/buses/or) keeps the poles the record never split.

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.
