eCAN Restrict Night Use of Bike Racks on Metro Buses from 2 November 8.45pm-5.45am Daily

Leave a comment

Environment Canterbury (eCAN) advise that as of Saturday 2 November, use of on-bus bike racks will be temporarily restricted during evening hours on Metro buses in Greater Christchurch, following a safety notice being issued from NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA). 

NZTA has determined that the way some bus models are fitted with bike racks can partially obscure headlights, particularly at night.

In response to this, while adequate testing and changes can be made to our Metro Buses to ensure compliance, bike racks on the front of Metro buses can only be used during daylight hours.

The exact timings of restrictions will vary from month to month to maximise the time available to customers that take their bikes on the bus.

The restriction will be in place from Saturday 2 November 2024.  For November, the restriction will be in place from 8.45pm to 5.45am.

Follow the links below to see what that means for you.  Customers that use bike-racks should check this information each month for updates.

Restriction times for the months up to and including in March 2025 can be viewed on the Metro website.
