In addition to serving as the hub of the city’s local bus network, the Christchurch Bus Interchange is the main stop for most bus and coach services to other parts of the South Island, including services by Atomic Shuttles, InterCity Coachlines and the West Coast Shuttle.
Bus and coach services that depart from here include services to Akaroa, Dunedin, Fox Glacier, Greymouth, Hanmer Springs, Kaikoura, Picton and Queenstown.
The Christchurch Bus Interchange has better facilities than most other long-distance coach stops in the South Island and includes an information counter, luggage lockers, toilets and a few shops.
