Christchurch's teal buses causing problems for visually impaired

From Morning Report, 7:26 am on 11 December 2020

The new teal colour being used on buses in Christchurch is causing problems for partially blind people, who can't see them coming.

The design, chosen by the regional council to reflect the city's links to water, replaces the brightly painted buses the city used to have, that people with impaired eyesight found much easier to see.

As Conan Young reports, it doesn't appear they were consulted on the new colour scheme.
