The only reason I rated this service above zero is because it EXISTS! \r

Seriously, people, don't even bother with them. On numerous occasions, I have been standing at the bus stop waiting and it will pass right by me, no ""out of service"" sign or any explanation as to why I've just been completely ignored. This has happened to me many times now!\r
\r
A lot of the drivers are completely insane. I got stuck with this driver who drove really fast and made short, sudden stops, and sent people that were standing flying into the laps of people that were sitting down.\r

The buses are almost always late. Once, they wouldn't let me on because the bus was ""too full"" (I saw about three people standing inside) and told me another bus would come in five minutes. Ten minutes passed, and still no bus, so I walked. Just as I was passing the bus stop I get off at, half an hour later, the bus pulled up to it! The drive from one stop to another is about 6 to 10 minutes, meaning they were approximately half an hour late. Not that it's suprising. Almost every time I wait for the bus, it is 5 to 10 minutes late.\r

Also, once, I was waiting at the bus stop in that sort of rain that's so cold, if the temperature went down one degree it would become freezing rain. It was the dead of winter and I was freezing my tail off waiting for the bus to come. I looked down the road toward the other visible bus stop, and saw the bus coming- ON TIME- and wondered if the end of the world was coming. Fortunately, it wasn't, because the bus driver sat there at that stop for TEN MINUTES! I asked for an explanation when I finally got to board, but the driver wouldn't answer.\r

In short, don't use Cherriots. It's not worth your time or your money. Walk or ride a bike or something.
Pros: It exists, more or less.
Cons: It leaves a lot to be desired. Like service.
