Russel - oh do you have a job at the information centre there? I ride there regularly.
How often do busses go to Russel go from civic?
Pretty damn often - it looks like an extremly popular route to cross the water. (literally all busses take that route - see map)

Also, is civic within walking distance or is it better to catch another bus there?
Nah, walk, otherwise you have to wait for *another* bus to come, its quicker to walk.
What are the bus numbers I'd be looking for?
See above. There seemed to be heaps coming from the other side.
It's pretty difficult to work out what to do when I'm not even there
you'll be right
