### 1/5 — YRT on request app is not working properly

*2025-03-27*

Its really had to open and its not user friendly app.

### 1/5 — This thing sucks

*2025-03-23*

I had to rebook my ride 7 times and it placed the pick up a hour away every time I did it

### 1/5 — Not on time and left

*2025-02-07*

The driver arrived 1 hour early and then said he would return and never came back, we need to something to change this as people with wheelchairs have no other option, Unacceptable

### 1/5 — BAD

*2024-05-06*

Bad apps. Always makes mistake. And they need more cars to serve more people going to downtown.

### 1/5 — Can’t schedule anymore

*2024-01-20*

The only option is now, can’t schedule the next day.

### 1/5 — Change time does not work

*2023-11-30, version 4.11.13*

I can only request for now time, the set time does not show anything if you want to change time or schedule for the following day, for now I have to call

Previous app was working fine at least for the basic items

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-08-13*

For some reason the YRT routes they give the drivers is always the longest and least efficient way to get there

### 1/5 — Really?

*2026-07-09*

I tried to book an on-request through the app and it would not let me because there is a “set route”. Yeah there is a bus, the thing is it’s a 13 minute walk  which is what I was trying to avoid. Might try via calling but it’s pointless to say you can book via the app and then have the app tell me that actually I can’t because there is a bus that’s a 13 minute walk away from me. Seems pointless tbh

### 1/5 — Terrible service, terrible app.

*2026-07-06*

If not bc I don’t drive I would’ve deleted this a long time ago. They don’t ever wait for you and they drive off before you even got there. A yrt that I booked decided to drive off even after they just arrived. It has been up a minute and they just drove off before I came outside. You ppl suck

### 1/5 — Terrible service

*2026-05-14*

They can’t even drive 20 minutes down the road terrible drivers aswell. They hire unfit people me and my sister got in 2 separate crashes in the same week with the same driver. And they wouldn’t even reimburse us.

### 1/5 — the phone number log in code. they sent me is not working

*2026-04-02*

the phone number log in code. is not working n email too

### 1/5 — Need Improvement

*2026-03-24*

For Paratransit, seniors with disability need to go to hospital please allow them average travel distance which is 30km; my elderly father has to get off midway with his walker and call me to book uber for the other half (maybe limit to once a week usage for 30 KM please for medical reason) - currently there is a limit of 20km for paratransit - maybe allow them to travel within york region & charge a bit more. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Arrival texts are bogus!

*2025-09-17*

To actually get a ride on this app, you need to stay up till midnight two days prior to when you want to get a ride in the morning. Also, the warnings that it gives you for timing arrival of your ride are also bogus because a 15 minute warning is actually really only four.
The drivers and the cars are great when you can finally get in them, but the app is horrible .

### 1/5 — Never on scheduled time.

*2025-07-29, version 4.22.2*

They either come too late or too early and don’t have enough drivers to make up for that. For example when I book a ride to work at 10am they usually arrive 10-20 minutes after that scheduled time. And if they arrive early, they leave and cancel your ride, then the next ride you try to book comes about 30 minutes later.

Update: 
Now as of recently, there have been NO times available to book a ride before or after work!! HIRE MORE DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most ridiculous, unprofessional business of all time.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-07-04, version 4.20.3*

It never waits for you and it doesn’t come to your exact location and ur there waiting for it to come. Worst app ever

### 1/5 — Can’t even open app

*2025-06-12*

This app is awful. It has potential but I can never open the app and even deleting cache doesn’t help. Have to try through portal which doesn’t always work either. I’ve reached out for help several times with little to no help.

### 5/5 — YRT

*2025-11-19*

On time driver, polite. Very helpful, takes care of my Walker placing it in the trunk and then ensures that I am safely seated and buckled in.  I couldn’t be more pleased with this service.  It’s just terrific.

### 5/5 — Lovely Service

*2025-05-07, version 4.20.2*

Great service but I would try to book people together to not waste time and gas for drivers. There was a pickup at my stop 20 minutes before my pickup. I could have joined the earlier pickup to not waste time. Other than that I found my driver to be very nice and was very happy with the service.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2024-02-21*

Gets me to my nearest bus stop. The only disadvantage is the timing. The drivers are super friendly and respectful.

### 4/5 — App crashing

*2025-12-16*

Sometimes the app crashes or I am not able to open it when in an active ride. Otherwise it’s great!

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2026-08-19*

The time schedule is about as accurate as a Stormtrooper blast

### 2/5 — Crashes after update

*2026-01-21*

App was good until the update. It keeps crashing and won’t open. I tried reinstalling it same thing happens. Please fix

### 2/5 — Never on requested time

*2025-05-27*

They always come 30 mins early. It doesn’t even let me know they arrived, and when a few minutes pass by, I check to see that they already left.

### 2/5 — Never on scheduled time.

*2024-12-22, version 4.17.103*

They either come too late or too early and don’t have enough drivers to make up for that. For example when I book a ride to work at 10am they usually arrive 10-20 minutes after that scheduled time. And if they arrive early, they leave and cancel your ride, then the next ride you try to book comes about 30 minutes later.

### 2/5 — Can’t book rides if there’s a bus available in the next hour

*2024-07-17*

Nice cute layout of the app, but when I was trying to book a ride for 1:45, it wasn’t allowing me to because there was a bus available for 2:14… that’s almost a 30 minute difference, I ended up having to take the bus and I was 15 minutes late to work.
