Client Testimonials
"I wanted to take a few minutes to thank... metroConnections for handling all of our transportation needs... Providing shuttle service to over 5,600 attendees can be a daunting task. But metroConnections handled everything from the planning stages to the onsite execution smoothly and efficiently!"
Marla Walls | Director of Conferences | Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, Inc.
“Thank you so much for all your help and service with our Archdiocesan NCEA special event at the Science Museum of Minnesota. The metroConnections motorcoach service was excellent, from the Convention Center in Minneapolis to the Science Museum in Saint Paul, and then back to the hotels where people were staying in Minneapolis. The drivers were polite and helpful. It was a pleasure to work with you and I hope we will be able to work together in the future if we need the services of motorcoaches.”
Gary G. Wilmer |NCEA Coordinator; and Director of Personnel and Planning| Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Catholic Schools Office
