The exact link between Ritchies and Murphys Buses of Takanini is not known, though AT Metro services in the area are contracted to Ritchies Murphy Transport Solutions. The two fleets are separate, though buses are loaned or transferred on occasion. Several BCI Citiriders are in use and their fleetnumbers are prefixed by Ritchies RT code. This is BCI RT9014 (KAW214) seen leaving the depot in November 2017. It is one of 33 such buses bought for AT Metro contracted services the previous year.
