He is a director of NZ Bus, and a member of the management team at Infratil, which owns NZ Bus, Fairfax reports.
Police said it appeared Mr Brown was struck while crossing the street, near Mercer Street.
A witness said Mr Brown was run over by two of the bus's wheels, and was dragged from under the bus by bystanders, who gave him CPR.
The crash was one of at least 10 accidents involving buses and pedestrians since bus routes through the central city were changed two years ago.
