### 1/5 — App needs

*2025-07-25, version 4.22.2*

Work done! A serious upgrade or overhaul is calling

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-06-25, version 4.20.3*

Once location and destination r set, constant error “Our service runs Mon-Fri 6:30am-8:30pm. Please try back soon!” REGARDLESS of time of day. Laughable.

### 3/5 — Unpleasant

*2025-06-05*

Got me where I need to go but some drivers literally do dangerous stuff like texting and driving. Getting in contact with drivers/service is virtually impossible. Most drivers start driving before I sit down and I almost fell many times. Drivers are usually rude and inattentive.

### 3/5 — Good start but

*2025-06-03*

Got me where I need to go but some drivers literally do dangerous stuff like texting and driving. Getting in contact with drivers/service is virtually impossible

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2025-06-02*

Usually the drivers just sit in their cars for 40 minutes before they finally move to pick me up. I think they’re parked on the side of the road when that happens because the app shows them perfectly still in the road (again, for 40 minutes.) There’s also a huge delay between when the drivers arrive at the pickup location and when the app tells you that they’re there so sometimes they leave right as I get to the pickup spot.

### 5/5 — Professional

*2025-06-02*

I love to ride with you guys great experience

### 4/5 — Great

*2025-05-07*

Now the bus needs to be more on time pick ups though the app we shouldn’t have to say our address now

### 1/5 — useless

*2025-04-18, version 4.17.2*

rides are never available.

### 5/5 — Gary L

*2025-04-01*

He’s the best driver ever. Kind,patient and understanding. We Need More Drivers Like Gary. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Terrible Drivers

*2024-11-10*

I had booked a ticket over the phone to get me home from Amagansett, driver refused to honor the ticket, despite me being on the phone with the agent who confirmed to the driver his own name vehicle and that my trip was a valid trip. 

Driver arrogantly kept parroting that the seat was showed as booked (from our location, mind you) but he couldn’t verify it was us that booked it. Arrogant and stuck up he kicked us off the bus, making us wait over 40 minutes in the cold for another vehicle to even be available due to “peak demand” despite the vehicles all looking empty. 

Terrible execution of service, drivers are a hindrance and not a help to SCT On demand
