BILL MURRAY
“I have seen Bill on many occasions dealing with the elderly and the disabled and the assistance and care he gives and shows is second to none. His respect for each and every passenger goes far beyond that of the average bus driver. To be on Bill’s bus is not only fun, but leaves one with a sense of pride in meeting such a person.
Thank you Bill for making everyone’s day.”
