The Route 8 Port to Port connects Christchurch Airport terminal with the CBD via Bryndwr and Wairakei Road, continuing south via Waltham, Ōpāwa and Heathcote to the harbourside suburb of Lyttelton, with some trips extending to Rāpaki. Immediately south of the city, the customised schedule provides access via Colombo Street to the shopping hub of Sydenham, alternating, on weekdays, with trips to Ara.
Route 8 runs at frequencies of around 15 minutes throughout the day, ensuring you won't have to wait long to catch your ride. The core schedule immediately south of the city provides access via Colombo Street to the shopping hub of Sydenham, with alternating trips to Ara Polytechnic (every 30 minutes) until 5:30pm on weekdays. Even during off-peak hours, we have regular trips to keep you on the move.
Note: The 5:13am weekday trip departing Interchange to Airport will use the bus parking area outside the Interchange on Lichfield Street (opposite Fresh Choice supermarket), as the Interchange isn't yet open at this time of the morning.
