Information regarding new Metro bus fares

On 1 July the fares on Greater Christchurch public transport, buses and ferry, changed. The 50% fare discount funded by the government has now ceased. Environment Canterbury have now implemented a new fare structure with some exciting changes.

• Single zone – all metro buses are a single zone. The same fare is now charged wherever you board or disembark in Greater Christchurch.
• Cash fares are $4/adult and $2/child (under 19)
• Metrocard bus concessions are $1. These apply for people under 25yrs as well as people with a Community Services card, a Total Mobility card or who attended a partnering Tertiary provider. For more information see - https://www.metroinfo.co.nz/travel-and-fares-info/new-fares-from-1-july-2023/

What do students need to know?

• Your date of birth on your Metrocard activates the ‘Under 25’ concession. If a student paid child fares on their Metrocard pre-July , they will receive this concession automatically.
• All other Metrocard benefits such as free transfers and capping remain

What about free fares for under 13 yrs that the Government announced?

Canterbury has not yet implemented free fares for under 13yrs. We will be providing an update of the timing of this when details are confirmed.

Tickets are flying out the door! If you're keen on either of the walking tours we'd suggest securing your spot in the next week. Fungi and Architecture are so hot right now!

Words come in so many forms, here at WORD we have a particular love of those words set to music. Lyrics abound at the festival this year, from soulful RnB to improvised sound works. 

Check out the programme here there is something for everyone.

Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand  Information 

This winter, between Monday 12 June and Saturday 30 September, participating community pharmacies in Canterbury will provide a Minor Health Conditions Service for Māori and Pacific people, children aged under 14 years, and community service card holders.

• The service allows pharmacists to have a clinical consultation and provide advice as well as medication if needed for a select set of minor ailments at no cost to the patient.
• It also includes whānau members of a child with similar symptoms. For example, if the pharmacist determines your child needs treatment for scabies and they have older brothers or sisters, or you yourself also have symptoms, they may provide advice and medication for all of you.

• The following health conditions are included in the Minor Health Conditions Service:

• Acute diarrhoea
• Dehydration
• Eye inflammation and infections
• Scabies
• Headlice
• Pain and fever
• Eczema/Dermatitis
• Minor skin infections

• If your condition needs further support, the pharmacist can tell you the best place to go for your condition to get further help.
• Participating pharmacies can be found by going to HealthPoint and searching “Minor Ailments”. You can also find a list here www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/go-well
