## What is SunRide?

SunRide is a microtransit service available in eight (8) Coachella Valley zones. Riders can plan, book and keep track of their trips all from one application, the SunRide app, which will call for a SunRide vehicle to pick them up and drop them off within walking distance of their specified location.

How it works:
-Enter your pickup and dropoff locations and we’ll tell you the best journey available at that time. 
-Book SunRide trips directly in the app for you and any additional passengers.
-Never miss your ride with live arrival times for your bus and ride tracking for your SunRide journey.
-There may be others on board, or you may make a few additional stops along the way!

What we’re about:

- SHARED: Our algorithm helps you see the best public transit journey available at that time. Using SunRide, you’ll be matched with others headed in the same direction. This combines convenience and comfort with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a shared ride. Transit at its best.

- AFFORDABLE: SunRide offers all rides at a fixed price and free transfers to and from local public transit options.

### 5/5 — Outstanding driver

*2025-11-26*

My driver was outstanding

### 1/5 — In one month app went from great to garbage

*2025-10-05*

bring back the app that worked. this update in the last month is awful.

### 5/5 — Gracias muy amable

*2025-05-17*

Exelente servicio

### 1/5 — Definitely Not it

*2025-04-22*

This app was not needed, i don’t know what’s going on but there’s no reason why there’s only one driver and the driver is way in a whole Nother city. I shouldn’t be waiting almost half an hour just for my ride to come. You guys need to go back to one driver per city because this is not it, I’m supposed to be at work at a certain time to transfer buses and I can’t even do that because a driver is 45 minutes away and not to mention if more people book in that same city the wait time is even longer so please can you guys go back to the way how you guys ran the old app because this is not it. The drivers are nice, but it’s just the fact that there should not be one driver who is miles away picking me up. I don’t know if it’s a cheap cost thing but cheap is not always good but hey, you get what you get

### 1/5 — Trash system

*2025-04-20*

Nothing else to say

### 2/5 — Definitely Not it

*2025-04-07*

This app was not needed, i don’t know what’s going on but I shouldn’t be having to book an uber because the minutes add up or drivers taking their sweet time to get to the bus stop!!

### 2/5 — App could be better

*2025-04-04*

I tried the new app a few time and it’s more difficult to use. The gps system is really bad. I understand it’s a new app and it’s gonna have some hiccups but this is just bad. I needed to get somewhere and I ordered one and it kept adding minutes saying I’d be here in 6 then 8 then 9 and then 10 minutes at the end I’d cancel the ride but the same driver kept accepting it. And at the end I order once more and it said 40 minutes of wait time! I ended up getting an uber. I’m lucking to be able to afford one but if it would’ve been someone else it would’ve thrown off someone’s entire day.

### 1/5 — The old one is better

*2025-03-31*

The other one is far better
