Session 9 – challenges and difficulties for operators with maintenance and after service involved a live panel interviewing bus operators from three different fleets; Pulitano, Dyson and Bus lines.

Nothings more important to me then better understanding our customers needs, that way we can improve what we do on our end,” said Stephanie Downs, Marketing & Sales Coordinator Whites Diesels Sydney.
