Works when it work. Screws you when it doesn’t.

I love this service in theory. LA is in desperate need of something like this, but often times when I book a ride, it cancels on me or fails to show at all. I believe there are only a very small amount of these busses going around, but there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting 20 minutes for a ride and then being told you’ll have to wait another 20. Hope somebody finally provides funding to fix this service.

Has potential, but useless for me

I downloaded the app, realized I was out of zone, then scanned the map to find where I could use it. It only has two zones: Culver City to Venice and the area bordered by the 110 and 10 freeways. I don't live anywhere near those areas and LA is a huge city. I'll wait for the program to experience its growing pains before installing this again.

Great app

Wonderful app and service

great way to get around my neighborhood

I use LAnow when im running specific and out of the way errands around my neighborhood, or if I just don’t feel like walking all the way back! Timing is usually very reasonable, especially for the price.

Not the most reliable

If you’re not in a rush to get anywhere then this app is for you I do not recommend if you have somewhere to be I have requested a ride a dozen times from this app in the mornings and it says the bus would come in 5 mins and it actually takes up to 15 mins for the bus to arrive i don’t know i feel like these drivers know some of the customers and purposely wait for them to requested a ride to pick them up and then pick me up but these drivers need to do better!
