Nittany Express

Pretty straightforward: unreliable.
Called on Friday, scheduled a Monday early morning airport pickup. Taxi didn’t arrive. Called, with no answer first time. Second call: I was told no idea about reservation. Problem is I am fairly certain this was the same person I spoke to when I reserved on Friday.

Driving on a road with two lanes in each direction their driver (with no passengers) was driving about 10 MPH under the speed limit in the left lane (not the biggest problem), as I get close to passing (on the right, since I was driving in the appropriate lane) the driver moves right as if they were going to move into the proper lane. He moves about 2 feet across the center line and then back into the left lane. This happens 3 times as he weaves about the road. I finally see a space with a turn lane where I feel comfortable passing incase he swerves again I’ll have room to avoid him. As I pass, I Glance over to see the driver looking down at his lap messing with his cell phone. I honk my horn to get him to look up and actually pay attention to the road, when I do so he looks over and gives me the finger like i’m some sort of asshat. This is totally the person I want driving myself and my family around town. I will never call Nittany Express for a ride, I would rather walk than patronize a company that hires this type of driver.

Well this is awkward. I didn’t have the experience these folks had. I just took the airport shuttle from campus to the University Park airport — the driver got there at the time specified (I called 2 hours prior) and he was courteous and not a psycho. I don’t know what else there is to rate about a taxi/​shuttle service. The shuttle is cheap too, so that’s a bonus I guess.
Yay for cheap, courteous, punctual, and sane drivers!

Words cannot express my dissatisfaction with this service. Quite frankly, my experience with one of their drivers was terrifying. His lack of courtesy and professionalism literally put my life in danger. In addition to fumbling with his cellular phone while driving, he kept shouting at one of the passengers for directions, and proceeded to NOT LISTEN and got lost on the way. After dropping off said passenger, the man asked me and the other lady in the shuttle if we liked a man who «drives real fast,» and he revved up the engine and started whipping around the corners of a very hilly street. I wanted out of the car immediately when we were bouncing around in the seats, while the driver was laughing maniacally in the front. His behavior seemed off, almost psychopathic. I didn’t want him to know where I lived after that experience because he kept asking us if we were going to complain to his boss because he just «got off suspension.» I am happy I am still alive to warn you NOT to use this service. Wait the extra ten or fifteen minutes and get a different cab service.
