It was ok, now rarely works

The app worked for a while, now it always has service problems when you search , so I have to buy the tickets via the browser, and yet they don’t even sync to the same account logged into the app.

Best Prices, Easiest Booking

Simple. Save a few bucks and get your ticket 4-5 days in advance, even with last minute bookings I’ve always been happy. 5 ⭐️

Useless when you really need it

When you really need it, let’s you down with “ We’re sorry but we can’t complete your request at the moment…”
