Wish to compliment your company on such great service. The driver of the bus on tuesday night, was wonderful, his driving superb. Had a wonderful trip back on such a cold bleak night, the bus was so warm, comfortable and clean. Once again many thanks

- Joan Lusby

Friendly, courteous, polite & efficient

I know just how often people don’t let you know the good things … well, I would just like to pass on to you my highest praise for the driver from Whangarei to Auckland. He was friendly, courteous, polite, efficient and especially made the travel for my daughter and our international students easy and relaxing – especially as some had not previously used a city to city bus before, and none of us had used the nakedbus service.

His personality and manner is a credit to himself and to your company. We are all Naked Bus Converts now …. no more grumpy [competitor] bus for us!!

Well done to everyone!
