text: Horrible service outside the strip and too slow on the strip to be worthwhile An embarrassment to the las Vegas metro area They only get two stars because the Deuce on the strip is not a bad way for tourists to ride a double decker bus up and down the strip air conditioning generally However even that is really slow but that is not RTC faultnnEverything else however is They are a terribly dysfunctional agency who is service outside the strip is HORRENDOUS with buses routinely missing their scheduled time at least times in a row And this is not due to traffic as on the strip its just because buses do not show up I know because I often start at a terminus and have waited an hour several times for a bus that is supposed to run every minutes nnI made the mistake of buying a day bus pass in advance good deal or so it seems for a day trip By the second day I knew I had made a horrible mistake and there was no discussion but on the fourth day I used taxis One of the taxi drivers without me prompting told me how everyone tells him the bus service is so bad and how its good for him Personally I used to just rent a car but that is one of the few things that got a lot more expensive recently in Vegas nnHowever if you do not drink a lot I would just rent a car otherwise get a taxi Do not get the bus it will just ruin your vacation here And for locals it is even worse These are people trying to get to jobs using the bus and they can only guess if they will make it RTC is by far the worst bus service in the country and the US has a lot of bad public bus companies During my three days I noticed MANY fare inspectors on the buses if RTC just instead invested in dispatchers and technology to make sure their buses run even close to schedule they would do a much better job For a city with so many people so close by RTC should have an easy job running buses profitably But like the taxi driver told me it is almost like a conspiracy to make the buses horrible so people will take the taxislimos instead
