It works, with some serious caveats
Having taken several trips with Iris I will say this - it works - It is cheap With that though come drawbacks, and for anyone who has used any of the big rideshare apps, they will seem very frustrating. - You will have to walk - You will have to wait - You will have only a 15 minute window letting you know when your ride will arrive, and no real-time telemetry. Generally, they show up at the end of the window in my experience. This last point is what I find most frustrating. Any modern transit app should have vehicle telemetry. Even the bus tracking apps have this. The lack of information leaves you standing on a street corner for 15 minutes or more. Eventually, a car pulls up. So, if you can live with these points it works. I understand what they’re going for, essentially a bus-taxi hybrid. Even with that model though, there are improvements that could be made to make the user experience much better.

United StatesLiterally Taking away Transportation Options
So this app was created, mainly for the Gladstone area whenever our KC Metro bus system was taken out of Gladstone. And two weeks ago they allowed rides outside of the Gladstone area. And I just got off the phone with them and they informed me that they are not offering rides outside of the Gladstone area if your pick up location is in Gladstone like got so messed up like how are you gonna be taking away the transportation option that was put in place because our best system was taken away. Like this app really does need to do better because there was a lot of people relying on the app to be able to go to places outside of Gladstone, and it’s especially irritating. When rides were available literally like 4, 5, 6 days ago and now they’re not and we’re not even being notified of these changes like who’s making the changes. Like I was using this app to help me get back-and-forth to work to a good paying job so I could save up to get a car and now they have taken that option away from me and now I have to not work there and now I have to wait longer to get a car because now I have to find a new job.
United StatesThis is a joke
KC needs to get it together on transportation and this app is DEFINITELY NOT THE SOLUTION

Iris is pretty reliable but every now and then a driver may not show up.
