Reviews
"Nice people if you are"
"It has everything that you expect of a bus station with heated wheel chair accessible bus terminal, there's lots of seats to wait for your next bus... You can grab some snacks on the vending machine, if ya feeling a bit peckish... also, it has designated wheel chair charging area."
"Love the bus. I've had a car my entire life up until about 8 months ago when our truck was totaled and I cannot express how grateful I am for the bus. Plus, it's been free since the pandemic which I'm truly hoping continues to be the case. Even if it does start costing to ride again I'm so very grateful for the bus. The drivers and generally friendly and personable as well."
"Buses usually on time & clean, as is terminal. Some drivers are very nice & others have horrible attitudes and act like they don't see people waiting at stops."
"Western Reserve is a great way to get to your destination an if your looking to get to get somewhere because you dont have transportation I would suggest to visit the WRTA website an it will give you a detailed information an look at a schedule an see if they are your able to get you to where you need to be."
