SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday April 24 2019 7 News TWO STORIES: ECan’s Darfield bus service is performing better than its Leeston bus service, which is still at risk of being cancelled. Leeston bus still at risk of axing • By Anan Zaki PASSENGER numbers on Leeston’s trial bus service remain too low to sustain, says Environment Canterbury. ECan said last week the average passenger numbers on its daily service to the township was at 27 passengers, down from last month’s reported average of 28. ECan is also running a trial from Darfield to central Christchurch. Mr Gibbon said the service averages 41 passengers everyday, down from last month’s reported average of 47 passengers. Last month, Selwyn Times reported the Leeston service was at risk of being axed due to low patronage. The service is currently in trial phase and planned to continue through the winter. The trials started in January. Stewart Gibbon Said ECan senior manager public transport Stewart Gibbon: “The Leeston numbers are still lower than what we would like to see. Unless there is better uptake, the passenger numbers aren’t high enough to justify continuing the service long-term.” Mr Gibbon said there is no set number of required passengers to make it viable, as money received from ECan’s bus fare system is factored into the route’s sustainability. “It is not as simple as there being an ideal [passenger] number. Other factors come into account such as different fare types and zones,” he said. The bus leaves Leeston in the morning to central Christchurch and returns to Leeston in the late afternoon. Mr Gibbon said it is only running buses at its current morning and late Trial bus departure times: •87 Leeston to city 7am •87 City to Leeston 4.37pm •86 Darfield to city 7.10am •86 City to Darfield 4.42pm SOURCE: METRO CANTERBURY afternoon times in Leeston due to public feedback it received. “The community surveys we did before starting the trial services showed the strongest interest was in running trips at peak times,” he said. “The Darfield figures are better, however, there is still room for growth on this service. As well as seeing continued growth, we’re also looking to see that the level of usage is sustained over the autumn and winter months to demonstrate long-term sustainability of the service,” he said. Park and ride on schedule CONSTRUCTION works on the park and ride project on Kidman St, Rolleston are continuing as scheduled. All stormwater and light ducting has now been installed. Preparation for the installation of the final kerb and channel areas began last week.
