### 1/5 — L drivers

*2025-12-18*

Would be better if people actually worked for this app

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE system

*2025-12-05*

You barely get rights for over a hour and then once they do book a ride it's at least 30-34 minutes away and now they're trying to make you pay for the free rides that they barely give out

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2025-11-08*

I really don’t know how this app has 4.8 stars. This whole microtransit “system” replacing the WF Loop Bus was the absolute worst idea possible. I have yet to be able to find a ride, on any day at any time. When I had my car, I’ve had to give coworkers a ride home because they haven’t been able to find rides either.
🗑️ They need to go back to the drawing board with this one or just bring the bus back . PLEASE.  This is such a terrible system

### 1/5 — Where’s the drivers?

*2025-10-08*

I know this is like an uber thing but when I try booking it that way there’s no drivers. At ALL. Everyday day regardless of the time. I have never seen an available ride on this app.

### 1/5 — horrible service

*2025-05-28*

NEVER and i mean never should the transit system have been suspended for this horrible excuse for an app. never has rides and is genuinely disgusting

### 5/5 — I love this

*2025-02-12*

This app is extremely helpful. I get a ride the majority of the time. Sometimes it’s busy and a ride isn’t available but most of the time it is. It’s a money saver!

### 5/5 — Two thumbs up!

*2024-10-18*

The app works smoothly, the driver was great and the minivans super clean and comfortable.

### 5/5 — Horrible system to book a ride

*2024-10-14*

I don't know why they decided to suspend the bus system, they were more efficient than this microtransportation so far this week I have spent 80$ in Uber that I had saved with this one, the app has been unable to reserve a rider for days in hours where there is no one asking for it and it always tells me that there is "high demand" the bus system must return.

### 4/5 — 4 out of 5 for the First Day

*2024-10-01*

I’m somewhat pleased with my first door to door trip on the first day of the Go Wake Forest Microtranist  Service. I was very anxious when it too Busy between 10:15am - 11:15 to get picked up. Some appointments or other pick ups are not flexible if or service is Busy or unavailable.  Is there any way to reserve a pick up time in advance.  Friday morning I need to connect with the WRX Wake Forest-Raleigh Express by 7:40am. So I would need to be picked up by 7am . Thank you Valerie King-Jackson
