ECan is canning the Edgeware to Northlands bus route just before Christmas because too few people have been using the service.
The cancellation is expected to come into force in early December.
Changes to the bus services in Christchurch are being made because ECan is facing a deficit of more than $5 million and drop in bus usage of more than 30 per cent. The commercial centre of Christchurch has devolved to suburban areas
A number of other bus routes in the city have also been cancelled or rerouted following submissions. Those routes receiving submissions helped saved them from cancellation according to this report in the Press
There is a greater focus on the core routes that run through the CBD, such as Belfast to Cashmere, More info on the ECan website.
