1. 5/5Gratitude and Support for Metro

   I find this to be a tremendous upgrade from the previous app version. The user interface is modernized. The map feels refreshed. The app no longer lags, and I now feel this is competitive with other ride share services. I’m reminded as I read other bashful reviews that we’re getting access to travel pretty far for only $2.50. This is a huge step forward for transit options in LA. 5 stars because my experience contrasts from others, where I’ve experienced improvement. New vehicle fleets, kind drivers, updated routes, I’m very pleased. I’m an Altadena resident who has seen immense responsiveness post-fire. I am grateful to our leaders for keeping this program alive which previously did not exist several years ago, and is helping home feel not so challenging to navigate around in.

2. 5/5Don’t expect Uber

   I have been using metro micro since the trial began years ago. Not a perfect App, having to plan ahead can be very annoying/if you have last minute plans. Not nearly as convenient as something like Lyft or Uber but the price makes it very worth it. I have noticed drivers in the last year become incredibly irritable which don’t necessarily blame them as it seems like a very taxing job, but it doesn’t help the experience. I really enjoy riding on the micros despite the delays and inconvenience. (Of which there are A LOT).. I don’t drive and this is a great option for teens young adults who don’t either.

3. 5/5Great and affordable service!

   Metro Micro is not Uber/Lyft. Riders do need to plan in advance. You will be dropped off at the nearest official bus stop location to your destination point. In my experience, I can usually book a ride and it will come within 90 minutes of when I book if I don’t plan ahead. I’d recommend booking a day in advance whenever possible. The app is good. I appreciate that you can see where your ride is on the map and how long it will be until you’re picked up. The cars are comfortable and many are wheelchair accessible. Every driver has been really nice. If I’m in a service area and can plan ahead, I prefer metro micro to the bus.

4. 5/5Love the app needs a little more work though

   I love the micros much more convenient than the bus and safer option for me I feel being a woman the bus can be risky especially later at night. When switching over from the last app I have noticed in some spots it is harder to get a ride I’m not sure if this was just initially from doing the transition from the old app hopefully they fix that because I love/ need this app

5. 5/5Great alternative than waiting for an Uber

   PLEASE ADD AN OPTION TO MESSAGE THE DRIVER PLEASE. It’s for local rides, and have had positive experiences so far. Only downside is that I don’t like that some passengers don’t pay or tap their card, and the drivers let them slide. I’ve always paid so I think it’s only right that everyone else does the same. It defeats the purpose of making it $2.50 already, so please people start paying! If you cannot afford, get on the bus or walk please. Sincerely a person who does right using this app!
