Metrocard | Metro Christchurch

Links to information about using metrocard: where to buy, how to use, what to do if you lose your metrocard, fare comparisons of metrocard to cash.

Today, surrounded by our urban environment, Metro is our network that provides a vital connection between people and the Greater Christchurch area.

By weaving into the design and experience the fundamentals of kaihaukai we hope to create a meaningful sense of place and connection that enriches people’s understanding of their region.

This is why the Metro bus livery is made up of motifs and iconography inspired by taonga/treasure species, the foods and resources shared by hapu/sub-tribes, and the natural landscape that connected them.

Altogether, it represents our connection to the natural environment and reminds us of our shared responsibility.
