The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) released its 2015-16 Annual Report today highlighting a strong customer satisfaction rating for the fourth year in a row.
“STC continues to be rewarded with excellent satisfaction scores highlighting the top-notch customer service provided by the company,” Minister responsible for STC Jennifer Campeau said. “With a 93 per cent passenger satisfaction rating and an all-time high of 95 per cent for parcel express satisfaction, STC has once again demonstrated a strong commitment to its customers.”
