Wait Times and Service Closures

There could be a variety of reasons why wait times are longer than what you might expect. Some examples include

  • The number of vehicles we have active for the evening. We strive to have our full fleet of vehicles active each night; however, there are times when a vehicle may not be operable due to a scheduled repair or another reason that is outside of the program鈥檚 control.
  • Staffing and schedule changes.
  • There could be an issue in operations that takes a vehicle offline for a certain amount of time or for the rest of the evening.
  • We like to ensure that our staff take their scheduled breaks during a shift in order for them to use the bathroom, get something to eat/drink, etc. These breaks will take a vehicle out of service until the staff member returns.
  • Thursday鈥揝aturday are generally our busiest days of the week. Some weekends, such as Halloween, are even busier than normal.
  • Weather can also impact wait times as driving conditions may cause our drivers to operate much more cautiously. In snow and ice, we drive slowly and carefully in order to keep riders safe! In addition, as temperatures drop, we will usually see a rise in requests.

      At times, 抖阴旅行射 NightRide will pause the acceptance of new requests in order to meet the current demand. This will usually be for a short amount of time and an announcement message will notify new riders to check back in at an 鈥渪鈥 amount of time (e.g. 30 min., 45 min., 60 min.). These instances usually happen on very busy nights such as athletic games, large-scale events on campus, Halloween weekend, etc. Additionally, toward the end of the night, we will stop accepting new rides before the close of service due to the staff being fully booked for the night. This ensures that our team can complete their last ride by the end of their shift.
