Ritchies is pleased to welcome South Island operators Methven Travel and Cityline Christchurch to the Ritchies Transport group.

Both are long-established transport operators with reputations for safety, reliability and excellent customer service.

Methven Travel, based in Mid Canterbury, is best known for the Mt Hutt Ski Bus and for providing trusted school and charter services across the region.

Cityline Christchurch has grown from two buses in 1991 to a respected fleet serving schools, tours and charters throughout Canterbury.

The teams bring deep local knowledge and experience that will strengthen our presence in the South Island and across New Zealand.

“Both these organisations are great operators with strong local reputations for reliability and customer care,” said Ritchies group CEO, Michele Kernahan.

“We’re proud to have them join us and look forward to supporting their continued success.”

Ritchies says the experience of the Cityline and Methven Travel teams will help the organisation continue to grow and for customers the transition should be seamless.
