CityBus route 1

CityBus routes 1A and 1B are bus routes from the City Centre to the Shopping Mall, then back to the City Centre. The routes were first introduced by KiwiBus in 2004, proving somewhat popular to local residents. In 2010, a school service, known as the '1S' was started, but in 2012, was renumbered to 301.

These routes are mainly served by Scania OmniLinks, but on some occasions, the Optare Tempo is used, especially during the late evening hours. The 1A and 1B are on the Circular Line.
