Ritchies Stray Travel bus
Stray Travel specialised in the massive New Zealand Backpacker market. Seen at Britomart in April 2005 this Stray Travel bus is probably an acquisition from Auckland Transit, but could have come from any bus operator. A small Ritchies sign can be seen below the driver's cab.
