The drivers don't wait for you, they will take off when you're standing next to it. Rude and inconsiderate drivers.

How many times is the bus just going to keep zooming past passengers? I've been waiting for the 104 to show up for 20 minutes, and when the transit app showed the bus's location, that bus turns out to be not in service, forcing us to keep waiting in the hot heat. WE ARE IN VEGAS DURING THE SUMMER!!! WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP WAITING?! Temperatures are reaching triple digits. This route, especially the 101, they don't understand what the term "on time" means. They keep having these pointless meetings to figure out how to show up on time and NOTHING I repeat, "NOTHING" has changed. The schedule keeps getting worse. Unbelievable. read more

This bus did not wait for my children. The bus left before my children even got out of school. Who goes to a school to pick people up and leave before school even gets out. My kids had to walk home for 20 minutes in the 90-degree blazing heat. I did not get a refund, and I wasted 3 dolllars.You can not count on this bus to pick you up. 1 out of 5 times the bus actually works out. read more

Ah yes. Still has terrible as ever. Here's some screen shots from when myself and a man In a wheelchair that waited for 2 HOURS. In 50 degrees. The transit desk person for the transit app then lied to me and said it was due to heavy traffic, as if I hadn't watched traffic go past me for the past 2 hours and the same bus go passed me multiple times, but the opposite direction. RTC is literally just piss poor service all around. read more

I've lived in 9 cities across the US and this is by far the worse bus system ever. 50% of my time riding is always disregarding my time schedule. I have to use car service apps on the ready because RTC is unreliable. I try to keep my rides to one bus and no transfer cause connecting buses are a rarity. I'd gladly pay more taxes for a rail service instead of having to deal with a public transportation service that doesn't care about the public and their need to make daily schedules. read more

Game day bus $2.00 sounds good right? Go to stadium fine no problem, but try leaving. A mass of people 1,000's all trying to find their bus. Completely unorganized. This is a stadium/RTC problem that has not been worked out. My suggestion if you can afford the price of a Raiders ticket park in a $100 parking lot. We walked 4.5 miles and paid cash to a uber driver to dump his call (I was desperate) it was freezing and I'm 70 years old. read more

I am a resident that has a job to go to. The RTC is utterly unreliable. Buses are late or absent more often than not. A 65 minute trip will typically take 3 hours. The app shows false locations and arrival times of the coaches. Totally and completely failing the community. read more

The transit bus company is responsible for me loosing my job of 8 years... I am now homeless. The bus line 101 going s on rainbow at Alexander never shows up at 4:22 like it should. The bus driver or company do not compensate for such lost. I am 56 years old and homeless because of thus. It time for RtC to own up to the lively lost by individuals because of edequate service not being provided.​ read more

WARNING; DO NOT USE THE TRANSIT APP TO PURCHASE TICKETS. It will take your money, and then say you do not have a ticket. Calling Transit customer service results in an hour on hold (and counting). Calling RTC results in an explanation of how it is all your fault. Your credit card provider will say they cannot process refunds for this vendor. If you want to pay for a ticket three or four times, go right ahead. Otherwise - service is very iffy. Once it becomes over 100 degrees in June, bus service is iffy. Bus will break down and drop you off miles from shade to walk to the next stop or wait at a stop with no shade and no water. You cannot have a cart larger than small carry on luggage - depending on the driver. Some allow it. Some don't. Depends on their mood I guess. If they don't let you on, maybe the next one will. Again, don't bother complaining to RTC, they'll tell you all about how it is your fault. No matter what your complaint is, it is your fault. Don't waste your time. read more

Don't waste your time. There schedule is unreliable. You will spend more time waiting for a bus that won't come, and walking to the next stop to wait longer. Half a day to go 5.4 miles and back. Walked 2 of them because of terrible drivers early to there stop making the posted schedule more of a reference guide. read more

Horrible bus service. Pre paid on the app to get to the NFL draft. Huge mistake. Sat on the bus for over an hour just to got 4 miles from the M casino to the strip. Horrible driver actually got lost! Never again! read more

This bus system is the worst . I had to go to work and I have just moved out here and just started my job. I got a point for being late because the bus driver drive right pass me. I have no choice but to take the bus because I have no extra money to take Uber or Lyft. The bus driver did not even stop, all she did was drive right pass me but looked directly at me so I know she saw me. I know the company doesn't care about shit like this. However, they would make more money if these bus drivers did not do that and were more reliable. If I could afford a car and can get my license I would but I just moved out here and it hasn't even been a week yet. read more

Why do these buses take so god damn longgg bro stop sending 2 bitch ass buses at a time and release one like every 20 minutes this is so annoying. Who ever is running this schedule needs to be fired immediately. Instead lecture ur drivers to be where they need to be on time. bye asfc read more

For the last 4 months I have been using RTC flamingo 202 steadily 5 to 7 days every week. I am fed up with jam packed buses! I'm not talking kinda crowded. I'm talking standing room only, packed like sardines! No matter weekdays, weekend holiday day or night. Ridiculous packed. You need more buses on this route! East, West. There is no possible way doesn't know this. So fix it already! Especially with as dangerous as your buses have become. The least you could do is allow people to sit down when they ride sometimes. read more

Bus operator of #20834 failed to allow us to board the bus at 10:05 pm @ stop 1354 with multiple seats available on bus. Stated through door that bus was full. Once again, there were available seats on bus. read more

I have never seen a transit system with a worse record for getting people to a destination. I have been riding these busses for 12 years. I live 11 miles from work and have to leave 3 hours early in order to get there on time. It is consistently worse year after year. read more

Maybe it's just me but it seems like RTC has really gone downhill in the past year or so. First let me vent about something for a second though - after a few years of experience riding them now, double-decker buses were a huge mistake. HUGE. Any plan that involves expecting people to voluntarily be courteous or have some basic sense is bound to fail anywhere, but it's especially dumb in Vegas. The problem with double-deckers is that more than 50% of the seats are upstairs, but like 60% of your ridership is too disabled to get up them and then another 20-30% or so are just too lazy to bother. So you get like 30 seats unfilled upstairs while 10 doofuses are standing around in the aisle downstairs jamming up the entrance walkway. It seems like the buses are crapping out more now too, especially the double-deckers. I have to ride the Flamingo route fairly often and that thing has become a complete joke for reliability, literally like 50% of the time I ride it there's a breakdown. And not just in the summer heat, either, this has been going on since like last fall at least. Word around town is they are also having extreme trouble attracting and retaining drivers, apparently because they only pay like $11 an hour when Amazon and CostCo and a bunch of others have jumped their minimum starting pay up to $15. So it seems like there are a whole lot more problem child drivers these days - either with that offhand uncalled-for ghetto rudeness all the time, or those institutionalized meatheads that try to act like Billy Badass whenever they stumble upon any little tiny scrap of petty Authoritah. Still OK but headed in the wrong direction. Update: To be fair I should give some props to the drivers who always manage to stop at the last nanosecond for the endless idiots who jerk a right turn right in front of them as they're pulling out of a stop. It happens all over town but mostly on the touristy streets and it's ALWAYS into either a fast food place or a dispensary. I lost count of how many absolute twats I've seen be just this side of bouncing merrily down the road end-over-end with glass spraying everywhere if the driver hadn't leapt on their brakes at the last possible second. Amazing amount of morons flirting with gruesome death because they can't wait five more seconds for their Tuesday Two Piece and some OG Sour Grapeape Kush. read more

I ride the Sahara express bus 5 days a week and I found out you don't need to pay to ride the bus. I kept seeing people just walk on without paying so I stopped paying also. The bus drivers could care less if you pay so why bother. read more

Net one really good drivers. The rest are arseholes. Plain and simple. My family and i were 30 feet from the bus and she closes the door in our faces and leaves. Bus was no where bear capacity so it wasnt that. read more

I would say riding on RTC gives you the experience of what it might've been like living in 1930's Nazi Germany...but sadly that might be an insult to 1930's Nazi Germany. The absolute WORST customer service I've ever experienced in my life, let alone the most horrific transit service imaginable. Granted, they do have SOME friendly/courteous drivers..if you're lucky you'll get one. Most, however, seem jaded (at best). I do understand how dealing with difficult passengers can be a very hard thing. On that, I can only speak for myself: I'm generally an upbeat/friendly kinda guy - Certainly a polite one... I only ask for the same in return. Personally, I put up with the b.s. because I do need to get around town for work, etc... So, really not much of a viable option, given the fact they're a monopoly and all. but, I can just imagine tourists in from out of town , particularly on "The Deuce" and their 1st impression is a crabby driver ... I shudder to think. And Don't even get me started on if I were to have a daughter or mother needing to use the monstrosity of a service due to health appointments or cars being down or whatever... I find it hard to believe the higher ups of RTC management would condone the unpleasant driver attitudes nor the unabashed bullying tactics from their security Therefore, my unsolicited advice to them... 2 words: QUALITY CONTROL. read more

If you are heading to work or an appointment i advise you to leave 2 to 3 hours early or you will be fired and or have to reschedule your appointment because you will be late. Buses are always late or when someone doesn't show up for their route the bus won't come of course, and you won't know this unless you show up on time at the bus stop sitting there at 4 am in the morning and bum no bus is coming without warning. This is so unprofessional as it can get, it's a ghetto company. read more

Its public transportation so I knew what to expect. This is a cheaper option ($8 for a 24 hr pass) to go up and down the strip rather than blowing money on ubers. One machine took my money and didnt dispense my ticket. Had to call the # on the box and they routed my info to a bus that was enroute to my stop. The driver was helpful and got me the tickets on the bus. On another ride after walking all day in the intense heat another driver refused to let me on stating "no drinks" on board (it was water)and you're not getting on unless you dispose of it. It's annoying and I get it but he was sorta a "dick" about it. Outside of that expect some riff raff to be on board also. The buses tend to run every 15 minutes and it can be a pain standing in the Vegas heat waiting for the bus. It's a trade off though rather then paying $10-$20 a ride to get around the strip. read more

Worst system in country. Today was at a stop. Bus was supposed to come at 7 after, than 22 after, than 39 after. No buses showed. Called Customer Service and phone just rang. Horrible company. read more

solid 3.5 stars. In fact, depending on your bus driver, it's a 4-star if you get that funny driver who speaks hello/thank in 6 or different languages lol. Buses are sure packed yet very spacious, comfortable, even the double-deckers. Went on a whim after deciding walking back to the lobby's taxi area would be too burdensome in the chilly weather lol. Getting the one-day unlimited pass sure was worth it, used it 3 times. read more

Terrible. Terrible! Turrible! These assholes cannot handle the marathon -- a goddamn event that has a clear and established route -- and, well ... frankly, Sir Charles would say "they are turrible!" They fucking suck. Their residential routes leave an enormous expanse of valley geography out of service coverage. A huge portion of the population of the city Las Vegas (who cares about Hendertucky?) unserviced. Some guy just trying to get to his meaningless job was ranting about whether this was America. While it was quite entertaining -- I also felt bad for him -- he was absolutely correct. How in the fuck can these buses be that late? An hour? Two hours? Two hours! Get the fuck outta here! Number of shits given by the Regional Transportation Commission = zero. They fucking suck. How can you not be able to handle the marathon? How? The fucking route is known! It is known, published and known, well beforehand. A year in advance! It doesn't make any sense. The RTC sucks, and the entire top, fatcat losers collecting salary while allowing the entire system to collapse during the fucking marathon should be summarily fired and replaced by individuals who are better qualified. Fire them all and force them to pay back their wages. Reason? Dereliction of fucking duty. "It is unacceptable," declared one very agitated rider. He went on to explain that they should be able to coordinate such logistics with it being a simple marathon and not "Hiroshima." This guy was right. They fucking suck. While it is nice that they have express routes (some inexplicably sidelined during the marathon) and WiFI, what good is any of that shit when the buses are not running their routes? When they continue to increase fares and gouge the living shit out of tourists on the strip, but service continues to lag. What the fuck good is a ride tracker when the fucking bus is parked for over an hour at the brand new, rider-funded UNLV Transit Centre and not moving! What a disgrace. Fire everyone; start over. - E read more

The RTC does a good job with the amount of funding that they get. Between Covid and the flu finding enough drivers is a hassle for them which is understandable. Since I moved here (12/01/16) there have been NO fare increases despite their higher costs for fuel and inflation. While there are a few gaps in the system (Service is needed on Buffalo S of Westcliff and the 217 should be extended to Ft Apache to connect with last year's expansion of the 101,102,103. The majority of drivers are courteous, informative, and very safe behind the wheel despite being in one of the worst cities for safe driving. They have excellent free wi fi on the buses and good a/c and heat. Many routes run 24/7. The ventilation on the buses is first rate and the buses are clean. Their yellow RTC app is very useful in finding your wait time and expected bus arrival time. Buying tickets and passes on your smartphone eliminates the need for exact change though you can still pay exact change in cash if desired. Driving just makes the heat island effect worse and if u do not have a lot of things to carry taking the bus is better for the city and the planet. read more

Trying to be economical and adventurous, we decided to take public transportation to our hotel on the strip from the Vegas airport. Tip: all public transportation is at the ground zero level of the airport. Exit the airport and walk towards the right. Though economical ($2 per person each way), it's not the most efficient way to get to the strip. It runs parallel to the strip and at some point you have to transfer to either the deuce or SDX bus to get to your hotel on the strip. It took us 45 minutes from the airport to our hotel. The 5 stars is for the excellent service we received from our bus driver on route 108. She was kind, helpful and patient with us tourists who had no idea where we were going! After telling her our hotel name, she guided us on where to exit and where to transfer. You would never get that type of courteous service in Los Angeles! I wish I got her name because RTC needs to promote her or give her a raise! read more

Worked 12 hours and had to take the bus accidentally fell asleep woke up with my wallet and belongings stolen. No shape or way RTC's fault but the way they treated me like I was some vagabond. They threw me off the bus and when I asked wouldnt let me check my seat for my wallet. So that bus pulled away. So there I sat for 2 hours while a rtc woman on her high horse stood by me the entire time talking crap to me called the police for ,"trespassing" when I was stranded across town with no money crying. Awful awful awful experience I rarely take the bus but this experience will ensure I never do it again. I dont even care about my lost items debit and Id can be replaced but that one employee ruined everything she was awful and rude and quite frankly evil read more

If you're going to reduce capacity of the buses, run more buses! We shouldn't have over an hour wait to get on the BHX! I got passed twice, and went home.

Y'all are trash lol no delay alerts for route 210 WB on 10/31? Folks are late to work. Why even operate at all?

This is the worse bus service I've seen in any large city or small town. I'm completely puzzled in how you have a major bus line that connects to the smaller line. The major bus line is either 2mins to late or 50 mins too early it just doesn't make any sense read more

It's so bad that it's funny. I literally just had a bus driver stop in the middle of the route to go grocery shopping and came back on the bus with a ham after waiting a half hour. Needless to say I missed my doctor appointment. The other day I had a bus driver refuse to lower the bus for me when I have a sprained hip. Just two days ago in a windstorm I stood for 20 minutes outside of the closed door of a bus driver who ignored me and pretended that I didn't exist when I just wanted to ask him what bus he was. They are desperate for drivers and literally hiring anybody, I'd rather walk. read more

Tonight went downtown from PH. Took so long that we lost our buzz. Downtown wasn't worth the trip. Had to endure the same boredom on the way home. Have taken this from Trump to Ceasars with much success. But a long haul to downtown is a good way to ruin a great vacation. Seriously... Don't take this on a busy night on the Strip. You're better off walking or not going at all. Maybe Uber will be a better option when it gets approved. I swear, if I was alone I would run back to the hotel. This is the most miserable bus ride I have ever been in. San Francisco Muni isn't great, but at least it moves. We haven't moved pass the Wynn in 20 minutes. Please don't put yourself through this. Find another way. I will Never ride this bus again and make sure that nobody else does either. In mean not to the extreme that I'm picketing bus stops, but hopefully people can learn from this post and every person I speak to that comes to Las Vegas, I will ensure that they are aware that they are doomed if they ride this bus. Now fools are trying to get a free ride by entering the rear door and we are delayed because the bus driver is calling them out. Please don't take this bus. You will be miserable. Seems like a good idea at the start....oh yeah, a smooth ride to downtown...then you end up stuck in traffic on the way to downtown and back...and an hour and. A half later you ask, when the hell will Uber get into Nevada. Oh yeah. It was freezing cold on the way to downtown -and hot as hell on the way back...in the summer. I'm dehydrated. This is the most miserable ride of my life. How and why I ended up in this painful agonizing death of a bus is not as important as if I will ever get off. If this is my last post because I die on this bus, head my words and never ride the RTC bus in Las Vegas. Unfortunately most won't read this before hopping on the bus because most down know why the hell RTC is. This is living hell. Not often in my adult life do I feel held against my will. Not in America. But for once I'm caged, held against my will and better judgement. Will I ever rise again? Good lord, if you give me the opportunity to depart this bus, I promise to be in earnest and forward thinking enough to acquire adequate transportation to fulfill my needs. I beg of you...please. read more
