| - I'll start with a fact. Arizona Shuttle is one of the only and most economic options in Arizona for getting from city a to city b if you don't have or don't want to use your car and it does so for a relatively cheap price of $27-$37. Is it the most comfortable and best smelling trip? Nope.
While taking a trip to Tucson for Yelp Tucson's very first elite party, I had a ride back but not a ride there so either we would have two cars going back or I could do something like the shuttle. And since I hate driving on the 10 late at night, I opted for the latter. Enter Arizona Shuttle. It just took a couple clicks on the internet to make my reservation and after confirmation, they told me to meet at Sky Harbor Airport at 11:15 and the shuttle would leave at exactly at 11:30. Well, I arrived at 11:15 but did the shuttle leave at 11:30? Nope...more like 11:50. So I rushed to check in at the time they told me, but then I waited around for 40+ minutes before the shuttle left. They offered several different shuttle times too and I chose the 11:30 one because it would get me to Tucson when I need to be there, but since the shuttle was 20 minutes late, it then made me 20 minutes late in arriving to Tucson. When relying on a shuttle service like this, I was hoping they would be on time since I planned my schedule around the shuttle leaving on time. I understand it may take longer to get there with traffic etc, but the shuttle company could have delivered when it came to leaving on time.
The shuttle ride itself was pretty much what I expected. It's a van full of folks needing a ride. It was a little cramped, a little smelly, the windows didn't open and the drive is long. Weirdly enough, a trailer was hitched to the back and I worried it would detach on the road, but it seemed to work and held our luggage. In addition, as I was exiting the shuttle when I got to Tucson, the girl behind me also exited...with her ferret. Apparently I had been riding the whole way with a ferret behind me. It might have been nice for them to warn the passengers. However, the upside to taking a shuttle to Tucson was that instead of doing the drive myself, I was able to get a lot of work done on my computer (thank you Verizon network card!), so it wasn't a total loss of 2 hours.
So in summary, taking the Arizona Shuttle would have provided me with the experience I expected, if we didn't get off on the wrong foot when the shuttle was 20 minutes tardy. But, if faced with the situation, I would probably use Arizona Shuttle again and it's a decent option if you need to get to any of the Arizona cities and you'd rather not rent a car and pay much more.
