Love Penn Transit! This system is an asset to those who work at night or attend evening classes and need to get home.
★★★★★Mary Reif· Apr 14, 2023
Very nice. The dispatcher was very helpful.
★★★★★Praneeth Bommisetti· May 24, 2025
Scheduling system for on demand could be better
★★★★☆Rachael Schechter· Dec 5, 2024
Sometimes I think the algorithm assigning rides hates me
★☆☆☆☆Mridul Pushp· Dec 8, 2022
The algorithm on this app is weird. It does not drop nearby people first and then pick someone up far off. Also, the full list of pickups and drop-offs are not shown so the drivers also cannot make a decision to ignore the erroneous routes of the app
★★☆☆☆Chris Olson· Jan 9, 2024
This app is frustrating to use. Beyond the confusing UI, where things are buried deep in menus that shouldn't require more than one tap to get to, the app is otherwise okay. It shows the routes but the times are never correct, the bus icons disappear from the map, so it's a total guess if your bus will come or not and when. There's seemingly no support, and it doesn't seem like they care to improve this app too much. So it seems like we're stuck with this app in a somewhat broken state.
★☆☆☆☆Shenghao Zhou· Nov 11, 2022
This app is a mess. It will keep you waiting for more than 1 hour and very often driver will drive away without picking you up. It keeps happening for almost one week without any sign of improvement. Try to call pennride or use the old app, it will make your life much easier.
