# the Orbiter, Christchurch

5 stops the record says the Orbiter calls at, through 3 suburbs, the 34th most-served route in the stop record.

The record files most of the loop's platforms under its two directions, [the Orbiter (anticlockwise)](https://www.chch.live/buses/oa), 96 stops and [the Orbiter (clockwise)](https://www.chch.live/buses/oc), 94 stops; the stops on this page are the poles it still files under the plain code.

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.
