I want to thank Alan for his excellent driving and wonderful hospitality yesterday. We felt very safe and arrived in perfect timing. Kind regards, Brendan Abernethy, Campus Pastor Ashburton Campus
Thanks for great service again David. All went really well!, Nga mihi. Vicki Zonnevylle, Deputy Principal, Bluestone School
Julie was an excellent driver, especially when the weather conditions were not the best. Also lots of fun, we would give her a five star rating. Many thanks Becky Wilkins, Procurement Manager, Mainfert
Just want to say compliments to the Timaru Link Anticlockwise driver on the first run of the day, he was super friendly and helpful. He answered my questions about topping up my Metrocard, noticed that I wasn't a regular on that bus and asked where I was headed, made a bit of conversation along the way, etc. Sorry I didn't catch his name, the only other driver I know is Kirk, everyone knows Kirk, he's amazing, always has a huge smile on his face, goes the extra mile for you, and he likes a bit of banter. Rachel, Timaru Link Commuter
I would love to find out who the school bus driver is that travels down Brockley Road (Fairview area) every day to drop children off at home in the afternoons. (Allan Frewen) For several days I have wanted to let him know how much I appreciate his consideration for me and my horse as we ride down Brockley Road and on numerous occasions this particular driver has slowed right down to avoid spooking my horse, sometimes even stopping and waiting patiently for us to pass far enough that he can feel confident in taking off without worrying my horse. Fortunately my horse is not in the least bit worried about traffic, but I would love for this driver to know just how much he is appreciated by myself and for all I know there are other horse riders he passes with the same care and consideration. If someone could please let me know if the driver receives this compliment that would be fantastic. Kind regards, Becca Black (and Skybee)
Just wanted to say a big thank you to your drivers for driving us around the businesses today, As always, they were really good and always where they were meant to be when they were meant to be! It makes the day run so much smoother having the buses there and being able to hop on and off! Many thanks! Lou Heenan, Pathways, Careers Coordinator, Roncalli School
