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.
