"We are delighted to be able to resume service for our customers," Sargent said, adding, "For us, the determining factor has always been when we can safely restore service. The well-being of our customers and drivers is and always will be paramount. With the safety measures we have in place, the air purification system that we employ, and the increased vaccination schedule, we are ready to go. And we look forward to seeing our passengers again!"
