Accommodating and Responsive

Scott was very helpful when I attempted to organize a bus needed to transport a group of friends to/from a late night event. He was very accommodating to the group’s needs and extremely responsive during the process. I would use BusBank again and, if I do, I hope to be able to work with Scott.
