Month: April 2026

Event Direct by Metro is a pre-booked shuttle bus service that runs from selected pickup hubs around Christchurch non-stop to the One NZ Stadium event precinct and back again for big events.

Pickup hubs in the Papanui area are both on Main North Road: opposite Northlands Shopping Centre (Platform C); and opposite New World Northwood (outside the Supa Centa).
