### 1/5 — Activation problem

*2026-04-27, version 7.8.29*

This app is useful, but the ticket activation process is misleading. After entering my credit card, the app prompted me to “Activate Tickets,” which made it seem like a required step to complete the purchase. Once activated, I found out the ticket expires in 3 hours.

I immediately contacted customer service to deactivate it, but they said they have a strict no-refund policy and couldn’t reverse it. As a result, I lost $12.50 on a ticket I wasn’t ready to use.

The app would benefit from clearer warnings before activation and a more flexible refund policy. Be careful when using it so you don’t run into the same issue.

### 1/5 — ASK for where the bus is going

*2026-02-23, version 7.8.29*

You won’t be able to see the signs on the bus necessarily and the drivers won’t ask you where you’re going. I used this app to buy a ticket for Union station and then a bus pulled up as I got to the pick up. I didn’t see any indication of where it was going and didn’t know it would go elsewhere, I scanned my ticket and it accepted it. Didn’t think about it until we got to destination, nope, I’m in Van Nuys and now have to go all the way back to LAX and get on another bus to Union station or pay another $60 for an uber/lyft. MAYBE YOUR VAN NUYS BUS SHOULDNT ACCEPT UNION STATION TICKETS AND VICE VERSA. Maybe put a sign on the side of the bus? Maybe have your drivers ask where you’re going? Maybe a million things.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-01-28, version 7.8.29*

App charges you for your ticket but then says no ticket acquired yet it still takes your money what a joke lax

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-10-23, version 7.8.29*

Don’t buy tickets here. Customer service is also extremely rude.

### 1/5 — Terrible app. Doesn’t work.

*2025-09-30, version 7.8.29*

None of the features on the app work besides buying a ticket. Times are inaccurate. Tracking doesn’t work. Buses constantly late and most will skip you because they get too full at the first two terminals. Don’t bother with this service

### 1/5 — Fare

*2025-08-27, version 7.8.29*

In less than a year they raised the fare to a 100% this is ridiculous, if you're travelling by yourself this is fine but with your family I’d rather have someone drop me off at LAX much cheaperthat way.

### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work

*2025-08-08, version 7.8.29*

Alright so let me start by saying I don’t travel often and when I do, I usually just do the economy parking. So I thought this was a nice option. the app itself works fine but when it came time to scan the active ticket, the scanner wouldn’t accept it. I moved it away from the scanner and hovered it and even had the driver help me until he gave up as well and just let me on. This exact process proceeded for the next 5 people until the driver gave up on the scanner entirely. Don’t know if this is an app or scanner problem but if there’s this bad a problem for the apps MAIN feature, maybe it needs reworking

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2025-07-20, version 7.8.29*

What’s the point of activating your ticket when you only have 2-3 hours to use it? It’s a bait and switch. Like a lot of users, I bought a round trip ticket to and from LAX and Union Station. On the app it even says you have 60 days to use the ticket. Great. 

What they don’t tell you is once you activate it, you actually have less than three hours to use it. I’m sure many people have made the same mistake, and there’s no way to correct it!Even if you don’t use the ticket. Customerservice is nonexistent. As a visitor to LA, it makes me not want to use FlyAway ever again. What a racket!

### 5/5 — Clean and comfortable.

*2025-07-07, version 7.8.29*

Clean and comfortable. Service could be a lot quicker  if the drivers had an extra person helping with luggage when loading at LAX. Perhaps a person or two that joined the bus and driver at first stop and rode with driver to 7th stop- helping passengers put luggage under bus while the driver monitored scanning in -and then walked back to stop 1 and did it again. 2 buses yesterday were full by stop 5 so all the people at 6/7 had to wait til next bus. Hopefully they did not fill up before their stop again.

### 1/5 — Why Do I Need an App to Board A Bus?

*2025-05-01, version 7.8.26*

Apparently customers must have this app to ride the LAX Flyaway bus. Why? There’s a sales kiosk right here at Union Station, attended by a service clerk. Why can’t the clerk just sell me a ticket? I don’t intend to ride this bus ever again, so why do I need to have this app on my phone? It will never again be useful to me. 

Have we grown so accustomed to the ensh*tification of the digital world, that we must now also ruin the real world, too?
