The service was late by 33 mins No one was in their assigned seat, and attempting to get a front seat was a waste of time. The ride wasn't a RedCoach bus, so that may have been why.

Was picked up half an hour late after the bus left my stop 15 minutes early and had to come back after I called customer service. Drove in circles for an hour and ended up arriving 2 hours behind schedule. Terrible experience. Do not recommend.

Bus was 30 minutes late. I would suggest that the app notify when tge bus is running more than 10 minutes late. Seats were cramped. I am 5'2" and my knees were hitting the back of the seat in front of me. Driver was safe and effective. We arrived in 3 hours!
