Don’t forget clocks go forward Saturday night

Friday, September 28th, 2007

That’s right, clocks go forward Saturday night / Sunday morning – so don’t forget to change yours so you don’t miss your naked bus trip if you are travelling on Sunday!

Why is my customer’s travel day not showing?

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

The trip is either not available for that particular day, or we are revising some journeys and will put them up on the site soon. If the trip does not appear in the search results it is not available for booking at this time.

Can my customer be picked up/dropped off at a different bus stop from their booking?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

No. Unfortunately our buses only pick up/drop off at the designated bus stops that your customer is booked for. If they would like to change their stop, you will need to change their booking.

Can I book a specific seat for my customer?

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

No. You cannot book specific seats on nakedbus.com® services.

Friendly, courteous, polite & efficient

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

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!
