Birkenhead Transport (New Zealand)

Birkenhead Transport Limited was a bus fleet operator based in the suburb of Birkdale, near Birkenhead on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand.

In common with other Auckland bus fleet operators, it was contracted to Auckland Transport (AT), an Auckland Council entity to run timetabled suburban bus routes for AT Metro.

Apart from this, the company ran no scheduled inter-city services and its buses were for hire.

[2] The company was founded in 1933 by Charles W. Inwards, who had arrived in New Zealand from England in 1919.

It was being managed by the third and fourth generations of the Inwards family when it was sold to Ritchies in 2019.
