User Reviews

Pros

Helpful service for students who need late-night transportation.
Great concept of providing rides for students living off campus.

Cons

Frequent issues with ride availability and reliability.
App often shows high demand, preventing users from booking rides.
Delays in pickups and poor communication from drivers.
Algorithm problems that lead to empty seats despite high demand.

Recent reviews

A previous update of the app used to say there were never any rides available. They "fixed" this and now it will always book a ride for you in at least 6 min. But very often the driver doesn't seem to be aware of the booking, and you're left standing in the cold staring at the van parked literally on the next street wondering when it will start moving. Of course the app always says "1 min away".
