RedCoach Ocala Sarasota recent customer reviews

Buses were off few minutes so tried connecting - it was my first time taking it so that was bit distressing as could not reach anyone then figured out the app. We were in front of building then back - could have easily missed it. Need to maybe have points once booked - ie download app and see time details there. I was on instagram and checking there. Then bus showed up 15 mins after. With traffic delays I do not view that as late just doing their best.
