Sometimes you get a ride like with in a few minutes others nobody at all the next and they don’t run all hours of the day or night witch I wish they would tell us when they have no drivers available but once you find one for the most part 75% they nice kind the rest of the time rude they don’t listen to where I need to go and they talk on a phone while driving and they don’t listen to when I say stop here please and I have to say forget it let me out you passed my stop if I could give them a half star they would cleaning vehicle is amazing part and sofar they stay in puyallup and I have to take a different kind of transportation as I don’t drive and frustrating part they stay local I’m already paying so why can’t they take me all over Washington state like Tacoma to seattle or seattle to puyallup or to sumner to puyallup open the boundaries more but they’re definitely nice comfortable relaxing liability safe driving for the most part. I’ve only had a few who are speeding. And I mean 65 in a school zone no joke I report them all the time and then they stair at me as they want directions to where I’m going and they point every block do I turn here? Do I turn here? No, you got a GPS use it but they don’t do but not all sadly this is the best way for me to get around though for like going shopping, doctors appointments coming from the Washington State Fair going to a local restaurant. It’s amazing, it just has a little bit of flaws

I was chilling with my friends I was able to take a runner to my destination, and then when I was trying to take a runner back from set destination, I was unable to. I am confused about the zones because how come I’m able to travel one way, but the other I am not, I think the zones should be accessible via all zones rather than blocking us specific zones from other zones for safety reasons one two with the time sometimes past 930. You’re not able to make a run runner, even though the zones end at 10pm

System will only let you do rides at the current time the buttons that are supposed to let you schedule or change time do nothing
