Hino RB145

Auckland Regional Authority

Legal owner Auckland Regional Council. These buses are unusual in having CWI Monarch Landau body work. This was designed as a luxury air-conditioned 19-20 seat coach. These have C22FA bodies with no boot. They were purchased for Project Microbus in the Western Suburbs. The objective was to lure people back to public transport with small luxury buses.

Devonport Bus Co Ltd

This bus with Colt B22F body was orignally used for services on Aucklands North Shore connecting with Devonport ferries. It was later transferred to Oneroa-Surfdale Transport, another part of the Devonport Steam Ferry Co Group. Just prior to this bus entering service South Pacific Tourist holdings took a controlling interest in Devonport Ferries group. The Group changed its name to Gulf Ferries Group. Gulf Ferries Group took over the assets and services of Fullers Auckland Ltd - a company created by the receivers of Fullers Corporation. In 1994 Gulf Ferries Group changed its name to Fullers Group. Oneroa-Surfdale Transport then began trading as Fullers Waiheke and 100 was added to fleet numbers. Then in 1998 Stagecoach purchased 98% of Fullers Group and the Waiheke bus operations began trading as Waiheke Bus Co.
