Love BPL Transport they are very reliable service

Poor customer service and live times are not actually real. None of their services have Live GPS.

Had to contact customer services twice and both times it’s like dealing with low iq trash with no standards. Live times on app are NOT live in anyway shape or form, they just predicted times.
