“The new buses are comfortable and quiet and very popular with pupils; our drivers report that they are a delight to drive" continued Mr Levy. "Over the past twelve months, demand for our morning and evening buses has increased by some 70% and we have extended our range both to the North and the East to in response to demand.”
