The bus driver is rude and drives way to fast for a bus! I was expecting a smooth relaxing stress free drive but I found myself putting on the breaks and holding on for dear life! Felt scary! Also upon arrival in Tallahassee all passengers were instructed to get off the bus at the University stop having never been I thought that was the final stop! Well it was not and my family was waiting for me at the Marriott Dr stop! me and all the other passengers had to call our pickup rides to come pick us up, adding another 30 minutes to my trip! Not cool the driver messed up big time

Drivers are courteous and polite. They are very considerate of people with disabilities. I am glad I found out about Redcoach. The low fares make it possible for me to visit my son often.
