History

Christchurch Bus Services

Christchurch Bus Services Ltd operated Metro routes for Environment Canterbury, and private charter services for groups and schools. It was purchased in December 2010 by Go Bus Transport, of Hamilton, New Zealand.

Timaru operations

Christchurch Bus Services previously operated in Timaru, South Canterbury through its subsidiary Timaru Bus Services, before terminating the contract with 18 months left, due to financial issues. Ritchies Transport gained the five Timaru routes.[3]

Operation Otautahi Waka

Operation Otautahi Waka ('Christchurch transport')[2] was a commercial vehicle check on buses conducted by the New Zealand Police on 18 November 2010.[4] Christchurch Bus Services Ltd had four buses ordered off the road, which resulted in it being unable to operate a number of routes. These buses returned to duty the following day after repairs. Redbus and Leopard also had buses ordered off the road. Environment Canterbury gave Christchurch Bus Services until 5pm, 19 November 2010 to complete sale negotiations or lose their contracts for a number of routes. After CBS was sold, it was ruled an illegal action on the part of Environment Canterbury by the Courts and CBS owners received the money owed.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}}

Purchase of Leopard urban bus

In July 2013 Gobus Transport took over the urban operations of Leopard Coachlines, gaining around 90 buses.[5]
