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.
