Public transport delivery dashboard
Every month, Metro’s route performance, patronage and financial data are collated into a delivery dashboard, which is presented to the Council.
This gives Council and the public a wider view of how our Greater Christchurch and Timaru services are tracking across different measurements. Included in the dashboard each month are reliability measurements, the number of safety incidents, patronage figures, as well as the top and bottom five Greater Christchurch routes.
To help improve the accessibility of this information, we are now publishing these, along with a small summary, on this webpage each month. You can find all dashboards since June 2025 below.
October 2025 dashboard
Key points:
- Patronage for the year was down 3.1% against the previous year for Greater Christchurch and down 6.8% against last year for Timaru.
- In Greater Christchurch the reduction continues to be largely concentrated in the youth/tertiary concession group. This as expected, given the youth fare moved from $1 to $2.50.
- We note a significant uptake in Community Services Card holder concession, and this is likely students taking advantage of this option to retain a low fare.
- Total Mobility consumption continued to grow substantially up 15.5% for the same period last year.
- We are currently tracking well above our private revenue target of 13%, sitting at 17.9% at this stage of the year.
