ALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF Selwyn deputy mayor Malcolm Lyall discusses how students living in Prebbleton have to pay more to get the bus to Lincoln High than if they went to school in Christchurch. If Canterbury mum Claire Thomason sent her son to an out-of-zone high school in Christchurch, she would pay less in bus fares each day – despite it being almost double the distance. A change to the public transport fare zones in the mid-2000s placed Prebbleton in zone one, making it cheaper for people to travel to central Christchurch than to other towns in their district of Selwyn.
