“I’m extremely pleased with the work First Transit did with the monitoring of our bus operators. We have used several companies over the years, but this time we not only received our reports in record time, we received them electronically. The detail provided far exceeded our previous experiences, making our follow-up with bus operators much easier. We will definitely use First Transit again for this service and highly recommend the monitoring service to others.”
