Amazing
Horrendous routing
Cumbersome
Also, favorites is not useful the way it works. I’d like to favorite a route withthe live screen that shows the buses in that route. Showing the list of 20 options (the first of which is, incredibly, walk instead of taking the bus) is not useful.

I arrived at the designated pickup spot at 3:43 PM — about 15 minutes early — and waited until 4:00 PM, but the shuttle never showed up. Despite this, the app marked the shuttle as having already arrived and departed. I know I was standing in the correct location because I stayed there and was successfully picked up later by the next shuttle driver.
When I called customer support, the supervisor insisted their records and bus camera footage showed the driver had arrived and stopped. However, when I asked whether the footage showed me waiting there, I was told the camera only captures the front of the bus, not the side pickup area. That raises an obvious question: if they can’t verify whether passengers were actually boarded, how can they confidently dismiss rider complaints?
While waiting, I realized the pickup location was at an active bus stop, so it’s entirely possible the driver temporarily moved to avoid blocking another bus without any communication to riders. If that’s the case, there was:
- No clear or reliable pickup coordination
- No rider communication plan
- No meaningful troubleshooting support
- No app safeguard to ensure passengers are actually picked up
Instead, I was left stranded for 45 minutes despite arriving early and following instructions, only to be told the system showed everything was fine.
This experience exposed serious flaws in TripShot’s reliability, rider communication, and accountability. If these issues aren’t addressed, other passengers will likely face the same avoidable problem.
