Metro Flex 4+

I have used this app several times to book local rides. It’s great. I request a ride and the app gives an arrival estimate that has been pretty accurate. I would suggest requesting a ride 20 to 30 minutes before you want to leave.

I just want to say that this service has been beneficial to me in terms of saving money at the trade off of potentially waiting 30min to an hour just so I can get a about a 7-10 minute drive to work or home. However whenever I see that a driver is 5 minutes away I immediately assume that it’s going to take 5 minutes for them to get to my pick up location but instead it turns into another 30min wait despite them being so close. I spoke with one of the drivers recently and apparently this has been an ongoing issue. The app doesn’t take into account that the driver may have an emergency whether it’s being stuck in traffic or needing to use the bathroom. I think drivers should have the option of updating the wait time if something unexpected is happening and save the headache of customers expecting their ride to arrive at the pickup location in a few minutes. Before I end this review, another pet peeve I have is being told to take the bus and I wish it showed me where the bus is on the map and where it’s coming from!

I really REALLY want this Service to work and has so much potential.

don’t even get me started with this app. this app literally always glitches, and keeps telling me to take a bus. the drivers are also rude, and sometimes they’re even confused with how to use the app along with the GPS. a fair amount of drivers told me that the GPS doesn’t work, or that my drop-off address doesn’t even show sometimes. i’ve also had some more issues, recently being that i had a driver who drove me around the same block 5 times, and then stopped in the middle of the road for 10 minutes. he claimed that it was his first time working for metro flex, and that he didn’t know how to use the app. another time was when i literally got kicked out of the metro flex because i didn’t bring my orca card, and mind you i am a minor, so i shouldn’t even have to use my orca card because i thought that it was supposed to be free. please fix your app, or bring back via to transit. i’m so tired of this, and i am definitely not willing to book an uber or a lyft because i’m not spending money just to get myself to school and back home every day. how will i get to school when i can’t even rely on a simple app to take me because of how dumb it is along with the service? i am very disappointed.
