User reviews

Please add notifications when the bus is here!

It would make it so much easier and buses would be faster since we wouldn’t miss them.

Worst service ever !

Kindly Call the user if they do not show up

I’m talking on behalf of most students. We will appreciate it if we can have a notification alert that the driver has arrived since you often change wait times to 10 minutes or more after the initial time the user was given. Also for security reasons, kindly call the user to find out why they have not shown up. The user could have ended up in a health dilemma or attacked instead of just leaving them unattended. I believe Penn ride was developed for the security of the Penn community so please let’s tick all the boxes for security.
Thank you.

Penn Bus North Schedule

Could you set up the schedule for Penn Bus North so that I can predict about what time they are coming?
When I check the current locations of the buses, they often stay at 38th street for some while. Sometimes they stay very long and sometimes not that long.
And they suddenly start moving, so sometimes I miss them when I check their locations on the app next time.

Pick up locations

My first ride was simple to schedule. The only issue I ran into was not knowing where the pick up spot was. I was standing across from HUP and the shuttle was on the Gates side. I ended up running to the other side of the building.
