User reviews

Best parking + commute combo

Super easy to use. Booking parking and commuting into the city with Boxcar is simple and convenient. The buses feel modern and up to date, with WiFi, comfortable seats, and a much smoother way to get where you need to go.

App does not work

App is slow and will not fill in for account completion. Trying to setup account for parking reservation but does not work at all. Been told from multiple sources and can confirm this is a non working app.

Exceptional quality and service

This app and the service has improved the commute for so many people. They are brilliant in every way. Thank you!!

Their GPS tracking

Their GPS tracking is terrible, almost believe it is a fake approximation of where it should be on their buses. They are always behind schedule and they change locations with pushes 5 minutes before. Too expensive and needs to improve being reliable.

Fantastic Commuting Experience with Boxcar!

My first ride with Boxcar exceeded all expectations!. The booking process was seamless and convenient. The app is very user friendly and it took no more than a minute to book my ticket. The communication from Boxcar was prompt and clear and their customer service was incredibly personalized. Will be booking on South Mountain again!
