### 1/5 — Worst bus company in Egypt

اسوأ شركة باصات في مصر بجد، تعامل بشع وصوت عالي وقلة ذوق غير طبيعية من السواقين وخدمة عملاء سلبية. مثال واضح للفشل.

### 1/5 — Not opening

### 1/5 — THE WORST APP

*2023-11-22, version 6.6.1*

the worst app ever, they don’t have any kind of customer service, very rude drivers, the driver left us on cairo’s gate as there was a fog and he refused to take us back to the picked up location and it was 2 am by that, very irresponsible and reckless, the customer service could be reached at that time and the only way to reach is through email!!!!

### 1/5 — Verification code not sending

*2023-11-22, version 6.6.1*

### 1/5 — Unsafe service

*2023-09-16*

Horrible unsafe unprofessional service 
We were traveling to Northcoast the driver came at our spot (madinaty) earlier we were waiting but he didn’t ask, he left early without picking us
The app was not working 
When the app worked we called him and We followed him to another spot (downtown).. he moved late and kept waiting for other passengers over 20 mins at ring road and dandy mall.. 
he changed the route and took El omied instead of borg el Arab, the app was not working, we couldn’t track the trip or give review for the ride,  and we arrived 2.15 hours late and at a different point.. we were scheduled to arrive 1:45 we arrived 3:50 am !!!!!!!!!! And we had to fitch out another ride to reach our home !!!!!!!!!!

the seats and the car were horrible and totally uncomfortable 

The driver was driving in a very bad way and he was wearing homeware and slippers !!!

And finally.. the driver was not the one mentioned in the app.. he was a different  person  !!!!!

### 1/5 — مافيش افشل من كده

*2023-08-11, version 6.6.1*

لا اعرف اوصل لأي حد ولا ليهم اي رقم بجد برنامج فااااااااااااااااشل

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even very number

*2023-08-07, version 6.6.1*

Could not sign up as it wouldn’t send “verification code “ literally tried other numbers and it wouldn’t send 👎

### 1/5 — خدمة العملاء

*2023-02-08, version 6.6.1*

الوصول لخدمة العملاء بقى قمة في القرف

### 1/5 — H

*2023-01-28, version 6.6.1*

Mobile verification doesn’t work

### 3/5 — 🤔

*2022-09-08, version 5.18.0*

الاسعار غليت اوي

### 1/5 — Registration

*2022-08-06, version 5.16.1*

You can’t even register to use the app. Seems like they only operate with a local number. So if you are like me and visiting and want to use their ride, then you won’t be able to register. Pointless even to try to use your email or apple account as they still need your phone number. A futile system really.

### 1/5 — Cant pay

*2022-07-25, version 5.16.1*

Nothing but just can’t pay for booking neither with fawry nor with debit card
As the fawry codes are not valid and debit card making a transaction with just 1 EGP without booking

### 1/5 — المشاكل

*2022-07-18, version 5.16.1*

مواعيد قليلة جداااا واماكن مش كتير وباصات بتتاخر واشتكيت كتير عشان تحله مشكلة مواعيد اللى لغتوها مفيش رد فعل 
شركة اكتر من سيئة مش تطوير خالص وبضطر اركب حاجة عشان اوصل للتقطة واركب حاجة بعد ما انزل من النقطة
كارثة بجد

### 1/5 — Misleading app

*2022-07-03, version 5.16.1*

Inappropriate bus scheduling and useless customer service
Awful hateful

### 2/5 — A huge room for improvement

*2022-06-27, version 5.16.1*

I booked a ride from Alexandria to Cairo. The car arrived 10 minutes late at pick up and almost half an hour at point of arrival.
The app had a license plate number that is different from the one on the car.
The app had a driver that is different from the driver in the car.
These issues may raise safety concerns for passengers. 
The seats are not that comfortable.
It’s convenient, though. This would be the only appeal in my opinion.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Worst company ever

*2026-05-08, version 7.0.17*

Worst drivers and worst customer service ever wouldn’t recommend any one to deal with them

### 1/5 — Worst traveling experience ever

*2025-10-22*

After using this app for more than two months, I can confidently say that this is the worst way to travel. I had a subscription plan that required me to use this app, and I paid in advance. There is literally a 50% chance that the driver doesn’t show up — and when they do, they’re rarely on time. However, if you are even one minute late, they’ll leave you behind and blame you for not being on time.

The customer support is absolutely terrible. They do nothing to help. I’ve called them dozens of times, and they’ve never solved my problems or compensated me for the time and money I’ve wasted. Once, when I complained that the driver didn’t show up, they literally told me to order an Uber instead.

This is a horrible app that doesn’t care about its customers at all. I strongly advise you to use Uber Shuttle any day — but never give your money to these scammers.

### 1/5 — تجربة سيئة للغاية

*2025-09-25, version 7.0.10*

من اسوء الشركات التى تعاملت معها ، السيارات معظمها متهالك تماما و تتعطل على الطرق
و السائقين اغلبهم بلطجية و يستخدمون أسلوب الترهيب و الصوت المرتفع مع الراكبين و ادارة الشركة مغيبة ولا تتخذ اى مواقف إيجابية بل على العكس تقوم بالغاء الرحلات و لا تقوم برد مبالغ حجز الرحلات 
One of the most worst experience I ever seen in my life

### 1/5 — Cancelled ride 1 hour before takeoff!!!!

*2025-08-24, version 7.0.9*

Swvl just cancelled my ride to Cairo from Dahab 1 hr via a phone call before scheduled time with no recourse or plan B of a reschedule time or options, leaving me stranded in Dahab to either go back to my hotel and stay additional night or look for another ride same day. Completely unreliable and even worse careless

### 1/5 — سىء جداً

### 1/5 — Worst service

*2024-11-26, version 7.0.1*

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever seen in my whole life. There is no customer service at all. Whatever you write to them, they don’t respond to your messages or emails. The same issues repeated over and over again. I’m really disappointed in such provided service.

### 5/5 — Excellent customer support

*2022-05-17*

Been using Swyvl for a while now and to be honest they provide the best busses, well trained drivers, amazing customer service.
The service covers almost everywhere you’d like to go, and fares are completely reasonable comparing to what they provide and also other services in the market. Not to mention the complementary promo codes they offer throughout the week and the way it’s easy to apply.
Thank you Swyvl and keep up the good work.
