    The UCLA Vanpool is really a convenient and alternative way of getting to the glorious campus of UCLA - the best school in the west and a great place to work as well.

    The service itself is fantastic, it runs very frequently and to a decent hour and uses very nice,…read moreclean buses which they maintain very well. If you're waiting at a bus stop you can even call or text a number to see how soon the next bus is coming (kinda useless though seeing as the buses run about every 5-10 mins). The only problem is I think it's a requirement to be rude to the public to be a bus driver here. They have absolutely no problem getting at anybody (students, parents, professors, doctors) and in their face over stupid things. I've only met 1 bus driver over my 2 years at UCLA that I could say was genuinely nice. All I'm saying is don't get a job working with people of you're gonna so openly hate it.

    I've been living off campus South of Wilshire area for the past 2 years, so I really appreciate…read moreUCLA for its BruinBus system that helps me go to school and returns home every day. If you are new, get on the bus, grab the map. If you tend to forget where you put your stuffs, grab several maps. It helped me so much when I first moved to UCLA. Pros: Free (anyone can get on, no I.D. required). The bus starts at 7am in the morning so if anyone gets 8am class, go early because the bus gets super crowded at this time 8-10am every day. There is also an evening van, but that highly likely works for the people who live around Weyburn Terrace area or North of Veteran. Cons: Wilshire Center Express only runs until 5:30pm. Campus Express stops at 7pm. Sometimes you can get on a bus driven by a mean driver who tells you not to eat/drink on the bus through the speakers. Such an embarrassment for my friend the other day and she was not even eating, but holding a piece of unfinished sandwich in her hands. The bus can't go out of schedule sometimes, yeah - route change?!?!? due to many various reasons i.e. Obama, Wilshire/Beverly Glen bomb prank, crazy armed guy jumping between rooftops on Hilgard, protest on Westwood, blah blah blah.

    Seated comfortably on the right about six rows from the front. I witness the drivers change shifts…read more As they exchanged pleasantries, the departing driver fled as quickly as possible. While the new driver set up his things and teasingly called out to the departing driver 'part timer'. The new driver begin pushing buttons, adjusting mirrors, his seat, and other. Sounds like a long drawn out process but actually we were on our way rather quickly. After a short time, while at a stop, the driver unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and meticulously repositioned a mirror on the external of bus. At the next stop he did the same only this time he meticulously positioned things around his seat / work station. In that moment I thought to myself, 'I wonder is this guy meticulous about everything in life.' There were various other thoughts about this meticulous driver going through my mind but mostly in that moment the greatest feeling I felt was safe. If this driver was this meticulous about everything, even his water, I was convinced he too would be as meticulous and mindful about his driving. Thankfully, my inclination regarding the driver was on point. He turned out to be a very safe and conscientious driver. I enjoyed a very beautiful, scenic, (still new to the area) and safe ride. Sending a big thank you to the Big Blue Bus Team! Thanks Big Blue Bus team for getting us around comfortably and safely.

    This was one of the most alarming encounters I've had with a public transit driver. While traveling…read morenorth near Santa Monica Beach, the driver of the large blue bus was weaving through traffic and maneuvering around vehicles in a way that seemed completely unnecessary. This wasn't an empty road--there were pedestrians, tourists, and families all over the area. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of concern afterward. When we ended up ahead of the bus, the driver looked over at us with an attitude and made dismissive gestures as if our concerns meant nothing. Instead of acknowledging the situation, he acted like everyone else on the road was the problem. Operating a vehicle that carries passengers should come with a higher level of care and awareness. A bus is not something that can stop on a dime, and careless decisions behind the wheel can have devastating consequences. The driver's behavior displayed poor judgment and a disregard for the safety of both passengers and the public. I sincerely hope this matter is taken seriously before someone's luck runs out and a preventable tragedy occurs.
