Driver bus number 1535 saw a disabled man with his 2 carers at stop at Everard Rd. Driver stopped bus in a good position to allow entry he also positioned bus at Ringwood station to allow an easy exit for the disabled person and his two carers. A very thoughtful and considerate driver
Marka
Today the bus driver saw me and my friend running to catch the bus and he waited for us. Additionally, when I got off the bus the wheel of my trolley broke and he noticed it. He even got off the bus and helped me restore the wheel. The kindness that he showed today really made me and my friends day.
Anvita

Ambrielle
The lady bus driver was so kind that she helped me to reach to my stop. I appreciate Ventura for hiring the great person as a driver who is humble and helps the public.
Padmashree
Driver was so helpful and kind to me when he picked me up from the stop. I really want to say how nice it was to encounter your driver. It really brightened my day. He’s doing a great job.
Rachel
Give this driver an award. There was a passenger struggling to move who looked like he was suffering from a very bad illness. Driver stopped the bus and walked him to the nearest bus stop with a chair to ensure his safety as there was nobody else to help him. Without the drivers help he would likely have been in danger.
Alexander
I would like to give a shout out to the female driver. Awesome precision driving. Cool under pressure faced with an unexpected road closure. Good job!
Klara
Driver is a fantastic man lovely to converse with and assisted another driver, he made my journey great.
Coleby
The driver was again fabulous. Maybe all your drivers are of a high standard. It is obviously a reflection on Ventura.
Michael
She drove extremely well and friendly it was a pleasure to ride the bus. I have history in heavy vehicles and I felt very safe with her driving.
Gary
The bus driver went above and beyond in helping an aged lady on a wheelchair. He did everything he possibly could in his capacity to ensure the lady was able to catch her next bus without getting wet in the rain. He was kind compassionate and polite and assisted the lady with her wheelchair all along. When the lady thanked him he just said it was part of his service. At a time when we get to hear only bad news around the world it is so heartening to see such wonderful people in our own community here in Victoria. He is proof that goodness still exists in the world.
Supa
May have come across the nicest bus driver ever. Goes the extra mile to help passengers off by driving in closer and knelling the bus. Not to mention greeting/saying thanks to all the passengers as they get on/off. A true win for your company.
Omar
Driver assisted an elderly lady on and off bus giving her street directions. Excellent customer focus and care.

Observant driver stopped at North-West bound Springvale/Clarke Road stop (bus stop needs to be fixed as sign has fallen down which leads to stop being missed by many drivers)
