RedCoach Gainesville Fort Myers recent customer reviews
I called the Red Coach company to make sure I was at the right bus stop since I was not familiar with the area. After I was given no helpful advice, I waited for my bus where my GPS told me to. My bus then blew right by me as I tried to flag it down. The driver waved and shrugged as he drove by.

No limited capacity on the bus, therefore social distancing could not be maintained. I had to call customer service because I wasn’t notified that my original bus ticket was cancelled and replaced with a bus that was scheduled 2 hours later on the day that I had to travel. Had I known that the bus wasn’t going to limit its capacity to protect its customers during a pandemic, I wouldn’t have scheduled a trip at all.

Excellent and comfortable.
I would only say though that I didn’t understand WHERE the drop off was in Ft. Myers. My friend didn’t know his to get to Fgcu?? I didn’t know that is what it stood for. I would have explained that better for travelers from out if town.
