Buses are late without fail.

I've started taking these buses to work daily for my new job. Without fail, the buses are late. 5-20mins late at a time. At the bus station at Potters Bar, sometimes buses will just sit there for 25 minutes for absolutely no reason when they should have left 25 minutes ago! Do not use these idiots, take an uber or train, whatever your poison is, but Uno buses are not worth your money.

Bus always running late some drivers…

Bus always running late some drivers can be moody and racist like today at 7:22am Mon 18th Nov 2024. This student was trying to pay and the driver got mad saying oh are you going to Bangledesh. They shouldnt be treating people like this they are getting paid by the university which is from the students tuition fees. This bus situation has made me depressed and even I want to drop out (Uni of Herts) because of this bus situation

Worst bus service

Never on time. Numerous complaints but no action from the company. At this point even writing this review doesn't make any sense because they don't care. But anyways, I let my frustration out.

Terrible unorganised service with obviously no care in the world to their terrible reputation, overwise these issues would have been solved years ago.

Despite the University of Hertfordshire owning the bus service they take no heed to their students needs especially when it comes to arriving from class on time

Unreliable bus times

The buses are unreliable and do not keep to the given time on the timetable. I’ll have to wait for more than 30 minutes before the next bus comes and eventually I’ll be late to my destination. It would be better if they change the time table to a more reliable one and make things easier for everyone

UNO - Unreliable Nonsensical Organisation

I would give this no stars if I could.

This is an email I have just sent to UNO:
Hello,

My daughter and son boarded the 601 at Oaklands in order to come home to Park Street. My daughter has just phoned me sobbing and frantic because your driver decided to go towards London Colney rather than towards How Wood which is the normal diversion route. As they were not sure where they were I have now had to take time off work in order to book an uber to get them both safely home.

Your service is appalling at the best of times but this is on a completely different level of stupidity!! None of your drivers seem to be on the same page in terms of the route they need to follow, do you not give them briefings? Oh, and you can now go through Park Street as the works have moved down past the Tippendale Lane junction so why has the service not resumed as normal?

I expect to be compensated for their tickets as well as the uber I have had to book because of your driver's ineptness. I now have the task of trying to calm down two very upset and distraught young children so instead of just ignoring this email, as you have done on several previous occasions, have the decency to offer a response and a valid reason for this situation.

Use ARRIVA

Use ARRIVA. It turns up on time and is more reliable. Customer service at UNO don't care. If I could give zero I would

Poor app features and customer service

Poor company features and service. 644 is an infrequent bus which makes evening journeys difficult when there are issues. Bus tracker is not working and time has passed since it was meant to have arrived. Knowing that the app can be hit-and-miss, you hope that customer services can give you an idea but I should not have expected much. They are aLeo unsure of whether the bus will run or not so offer to call back in 5 minutes to update - a call which did not come 40 minutes until I decided to ring back and wait in a long queue. Finally get through only to get easier confirmation the bus has a fault and will not run which would have been nice to know much earlier! 6 of us waiting in Borehamwood now at least able to jump into a different bus after an hour of waiting. Annoyingly, we had watched earlier 601 buses pass us by and could have boarded one sooner, had an update be provided as hoped. Most of us were at Borehamwood at 5:30pm and abandoned our wait for the 644 at 7:05pm.

Better communication/live timing features are needed to stop passengers waiting unnecessarily. 2 customer service agents is also not enough - not sure why the agent never called back but I presume they workload is too much.

601 borehamwood/welling garden did not turn up. 7:59 morning work bus. Ridiculous. This bus time is obviously a bus that gets people to work. An 8am bus not turning up could lose Someone a job. UNO. Bus service makes me anxious. I am mad we have to rely on uno bus for travel. This is why they made single travel £2. Also all uno bus drivers are rude and forget passengers are customers. ( don’t tell me I missed the bus I was 25mins early). I looked at the bus tracker and no bus was in my area.

Terrible. Completely unreliable

More often than not the scheduled bus will disappear from the board. It's bad enough that the bus (602) only comes once every 30 minutes and once an hour on a Sunday but for the bus not to actually arrive is appalling. Today I had to walk 45 minutes to get home and the other day I had to get an UBER. It's so stressful not knowing if I can get to my destination on time because of this service. I didn't want to get a car just yet but I'll have to. At a time when it's so important to get people out of their cars and onto public transport, this is outrageous.
