Environment Canterbury is struggling to meet a growing demand for bus services, amid a reduced budget.

The article from RNZ discusses the challenges faced by the growing areas of Rolleston and Lincoln in Canterbury, New Zealand, due to inadequate public transport.

This scarcity of public transport options has led to increased car dependency, contributing to traffic congestion and environmental concerns. Local residents and councils are pushing for improvements, but Environment Canterbury (ECan) faces budget constraints and staffing issues, which hinder the expansion of services. The situation underscores a broader need for better planning and investment in public transport to accommodate the region's rapid development.
