Orsome has launched another great app, however this time targeted toward Christchurch users (for those fortunate to live here)
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=286729253&mt=8
Shows route information and uses GPS to find the closest bus stop, where it shows real-time arrival information from Metro.
Currently Free on the App Store

ORSOME!!!! Does it need constant feed? I am hoping it would cache its data whenever there's internet connection for offline usage like on iPod Touch.

Not sure about constant feed on timetable and route data but would need a feed for real time arrival info.

response from Orsome:"It does store all the route information and stops locally, but itlooks up the expected arrival times live every time"
