"To date, no other organisation can compete in terms of quality, reliability, value for money and youth advising with the splendid service provided by the Bus Connections Project team." - Village Parish Council Nov 2007
"The Connections Bus has undoubtedly helped to decrease incidents of youth crime (vandalism etc) in the village (statistics from the police show that) and the feed back we have received from the youth and their parents is that they enjoy the bus' visits." - Village Parish Council Sept 2004
