 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 and both fleets seem to use RT prefixes to their fleet numbers on Metro services. The two fleets are separate, though buses are loaned or transferred on occasion. This BCI Citirider, RT1515 (KBP784), is seen at Murphy's depot in November 2017 but Murphy's buses are numbered above 9000

 At the Swanson depot in November 2017 was the fleet of six Alexander Dennis Enviro200XLB "Xtra Long Buses", the pioneering order for this model developed for Ritchies and New Zealand. Half of them are seen in this shot, left to right: RT1100 (KQG560), RT1097 (KQG561) and RT1096 (KQF438).

 Sheltering under the depot canopy was this unidentified bus. Looking like a Designline bodied MAN from the turn of the century, but Ritchies had few such buses and they were mostly to be found on the South Island.

 Five of the six Enviro200XLB buses are seen in this line uo with Kiwi Bodied Scania N270UB 356 (EWS275) muscling in. Either side of the Scania are the two we have not met before, on the extreme left is RT1099 (KQG560) and on the right of the Scania is RT1098 (KQG562).
