4.0 out of 5 stars
Naiyana T.
It was my first time travelling with Rider Express and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The drivers both were professional, courteous, helpful and excellent drivers. The drivers gave clear instructions and were punctual. The trip started on time at 8:30 and I arrived right in time, a minute or two after 9:30. The seating was comfortable and I am glad it was not overcrowded so I took two seats to rest and lean back too. The passengers were also respectful and everyone used their phones and screens quietly without disturbing anyone. I highly recommend Rider Express and will certainly make similar trips in the future.
