User Reviews

Users generally like the concept and find LAnow convenient and affordable for neighborhood trips, but reliability problems are common. People report cancellations, late or no-show rides, and inaccurate ETAs, plus a restricted service area and concerns about driver reliability. Improvements in coverage, punctuality, and driver accountability are needed for broader adoption.

Pros

Convenient for running errands and short trips around the neighborhood.
Affordable pricing with reasonably timed rides.
Positive reception of the app and its concept, and appreciation for its potential to improve mobility in LA.

Cons

Reliability issues: frequent cancellations, rides failing to show up, and long or unpredictable waits.
Limited service area with only a couple of zones, restricting where the app can be used.
Inaccurate or inconsistent ETAs and glitches causing delays and longer arrival times.
Driver reliability/behavior concerns, including drivers not showing up or lying about status.

I love this service in theory. LA is in desperate need of something like this, but often times when I book a ride, it cancels on me or fails to show at all. I believe there are only a very small amount of these busses going around, but there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting 20 minutes for a ride and then being told you’ll have to wait another 20. Hope somebody finally provides funding to fix this service.

I downloaded the app, realized I was out of zone, then scanned the map to find where I could use it. It only has two zones: Culver City to Venice and the area bordered by the 110 and 10 freeways. I don't live anywhere near those areas and LA is a huge city. I'll wait for the program to experience its growing pains before installing this again.
