Enjoyable Afternoon

Thank you for such an enjoyable afternoon yesterday! I am a life long resident of this area and yesterday was actually my first time riding the bus! The presentation was excellent and very informative. I had no idea the clipper card gives access to so many forms of transportation in the bay area. It will be a nice opportunity to ride with friends for the day to San Franscisco without having to drive and find parking. 

Wonderful Service

I met so many nice people and the lunch was delicious! Thank you again for a great afternoon and providing this wonderful service to the community.
