The drivers are always great, and so are the fares. Anything negative in this review applies to…read moremanagement, which seems struggle with practical solutions. I used to take route 130 quite often, and it was much better when the route only traveled between Bakersfield and Frazier Park. By stretching the route to cover Santa Clarita, the wait in for the next bus home has become way way too long. I had a 1pm doctor appointment in Bakersfield. The latest departure time from Frazier Park to reach my appointment was 8:40 am, which got me into Bakersfield 3 hours early. The earliest departure time for home was 5 pm. The money I saved taking the bus was spent at the businesses I had to camp in while waiting for my next trip home. It isn't ethical to sit in a restaurant or coffee shop for 3-6 hours without giving them business. This doesn't help someone trying to save his money for more necessary things. It was an 8 hour slot for a 1 hour appointment. Double the time if I drove, and the same cost. The money I saved on gas, I spent on food as rent during my very long wait. Good thing I brought several books. If Kern Transit either added a 2nd bus for Santa Clarita, or left it off the routes entirely, it would make more frequent trips to and from Bakersfield possible, and make me more inclined to use it again.

The representative repeatedly interrupted me, spoke with a dismissive tone, and answered questions I did not ask. When I asked whether Golden Empire Transit accepts student IDs for free rides, she refused to look up the information and told me to "Google it myself." She also cut me off when I asked whether routes serve shelters. I remained calm throughout the call. The representative was rude, unhelpful, and unwilling to provide basic transit information or referrals.

This shuttle service is unfortunately one of the worst customer service experiences that I have…read moreever had. The getting to LAX was fine and when she dropped me off, I said, "see you on Thursday at 11". Margo Stanley, the owner, said it was supposed to be 8. I didn't think too much about it until t was the day before my return. I texted and gave my flight information about my flight and my arrival was 11:30 am. She didn't respond that until 3:47 am which I wouldn't receive until I awoke. So I read the message stating that I had said 8:51 AM when I confirmed, which is true. Ms. Stanley simply stated that she had other appointments scheduled around my original pick up time and she couldn't wait two and half hours for me. No let me ask my other pick up if they want to go eat so we can kill some time. I would've even paid for it. Or even worse, it was a drop off and Ms. Stanley alone wouldn't wait. Overall, just not a person that should be in customer service. She didn't care one iota that I would be stuck there. Ultimately, this means if your plane is delayed for any reason, Margo Stanley, will not be inconvenienced to wait for you. If you want to put that much faith not only in the airline to get you there in time you must pray that Ms. Stanleys other schedules remain intact.Here are the texts which is where our state of humanity is.

Very comfortable riding, attentive freindly professional driver.read more
