We stop accepting calls 15 minutes before closing.
Rides are dispatched to locations based on the order they are received. You cannot call ahead for a ride and must be ready for pickup when the driver arrives. The driver will wait a maximum of 3 minutes. Two no-shows will result in being banned from the service for the semester.
After a call is received the average wait for a ride is 15 – 25 minutes depending upon weather conditions and the number of incoming calls.
