Thanks for the excellent service last Saturday taking the team up to Dargaville. Special shout out of thanks to Kevin Herlihy the driver the boys said he was very accommodating and made the trip very enjoyable. Mike Simpson, Mortgage Advisor, The Mortgage Supply Co.

Thank you so much for organising this for me. David was incredibly helpful and generous with his time, he was always willing to move the coach as/when needed and it was lovely to have it around. Aroha Nui. Vicki Parr, Network Support and Events Manager, Christians Against Poverty

I just wanted to get in touch to say thank you to Ritchies on behalf of the New Zealand Medical Students' Association for the amazing service that you provided over the weekend. Our conference was an amazing success and the bus drivers were nothing but professional and authentically themselves, which made it all the more meaningful working with your company. Everyone from Ritchies that I had the pleasure of working with was adaptable as our plans changed and did so with smiling faces; I would highly recommend your service to anyone planning such an event in the future! All the best - it has been a pleasure working with you. Su-Ann Yee, New Zealand Medical Students Association

Just a quick message to say thank you for all your organization for our bus trip this last weekend – it all went very smoothly and we particularly want to thank David (Seath) for his expert driving, especially on the way down with so much traffic trying to get out of Auckland which made it a long strenuous trip down to Ohakune, with a lot of the travel in the dark. He is an excellent driver and with his knowledge and skill, everyone felt safe and he made our trip all the more enjoyable. Are we able to make an extra payment to you for a bonus to him with our thanks and gratitude. Jeff Turner

Today at Marist School we had our school cross country at the Domain. On our way back to school we were lucky enough to be driven by Driver Craig. Once we were all settled on the bus, he introduced himself and said how he knew we'd had a great day because of all the childrens smiley faces. He told everyone to sit back and enjoy the ride as he would get us back to school safe and sound. He then asked the children if they liked music and proceeded to play songs that the children sang to, all the way back to school. Our year 2 and 3 children and the teachers said it was the BEST bus ride we have ever had, and Craig was the coolest driver. We really wanted to share this with you. He's an absolute superstar and you are lucky to have him driving your buses. Thank you Craig. Bethany Lockie, Office Administrator, Marist School Mt Albert

One of your school buses stops outside our property on most mornings. I would like to compliment your driver, He is courteous with both the children and adults. On the odd occasion we are trying to get out of drive way he is so helpful and I am really impressed with his service. Please pass this on to him Keep it up Thanks & Regards, Kathy Pere

On the 18th of May we hired a double decker bus that took us to the Glen Eden Playhouse theatre . . . wanted to say that the service we received was on-time and professional. It is incredibly stressful organising a large number of children to go on a trip and it is made more stressful if the bus is not on-time or where it is meant to be, so thank-you, and thanks also to your lovely driver, Michael Peters. Ngā mihi, Toni Mildon, Centre Director, The Point Early Childhood Centre

I am just emailing to let you know how great Jason the usual bus driver on the Oratia School to Piha bus route is. As a parent I really appreciate the way he cares for the children and goes the extra mile to make them feel happy. It is also really nice when he is able to be the consistent driver for our children. Nga mihi nui. Rebecca Walton-Hannay

Firstly for your patience as I navigated my first schools event. For all your advice and support. For providing such a fabulous service. For providing such wonderful drivers. For helping us shift the paradigms of, and breaking down some barriers for, over 800 tamariki from across Auckland. The feed back is starting to trickle back and the kids, parents and teachers are raving about everything. Some had never been on a bus before, let alone head into the city or visit the arena. We showed them that not only are they welcome, they belong and they fit right in. They learnt so much about themselves, art, pop culture and music, without them even realising it because they were having so much fun. I so hope I can be in contact soon with another adventure. Big hugs to you all and the Ritchies, Birkenhead Transport, Murphy teams. Suzy Cato

I just wanted to give you feedback and say thank you for organising the bus today. Everything went so smoothly and the driver was one of the best ones we've had, he was such a nice man. Thanks again, Patrice Muliard, Teacher in Charge of Music, Kelston Girls College
