RedCoach Gainesville Tallahassee recent customer reviews

The buses are great, staff are friendly and clientele are mostly college students. One thing red coach could do is inform riders that the bud may run 20-49 minutes late depending on traffic near Ocala. It’s always stop and go traffic in that area for about 20 miles of the full trip.

Very disappointed in this service. They changed the pickup location without advising me, and changed the dropoff location without advising me. When I asked the driver where we would be dropped off, she gave me the wrong address and my family who was picking me up had to drive to 3 different locations to find me. Company has many deficiencies that need to be corrected. Very poor communication within the company and between the company and its customers.
