Tri Delta Transit

Tri Delta Transit is a decent bus service it has some very nice sweet female drivers and nice male drivers. The bus is getting better on being on time this is a good thing. Busses are dirty because passenger’s are dirty and do not care. The music gets on my last nerve. Other than that it is a great bus system. Keep up the good work.

Yesterday was my 2^nd and final experience riding the 300 Express from Hillcrest to Baypoint BART. After waiting at the BART station for about 45 minutes a person in line called dispatch and they were unable to determine the location of the bus. 5 of us decided to split the cost on a Taxi. Thus, we wasted both time and money opting for the bus. I will brave the traffic and limited parking and drive to the station from now on.

Well, frankly I can’t say how I feel. One day the buses run early, are cleaned and air conditioned. And some days the buses are filthy, dirty, late, and full of weirdos. The driver is always nice and friendly. Only reason they got a two star is for the driver. I come from concord and using the county connection. Lemme tell you, TCC Is much better. What can I say though. It gets me to Bart.

The buses that I take are usually filthy. What the heck are these yellow stains on the seats? There are usually food items in between the window seat and the interior wall — you’d better check before you sit down. Last week, I was bitten by ants (probably the result of the food items). Had a guy relieve himself a few times already — the Line #200 in the afternoon from Martinez gets a lot of released jail birds. The odor on some of these buses is overwhelming. Dirty windows, dirty floors, other than that a nice way to get around (not really).

I don’t take the 300 often and now I remember why. I encountered a level of customer service that I couldn’t believe. I was running to the bus as it was still parked with the door open. A lady was sitting facing the driver and I had just made it to the end of the bus when I heard the lady say there’s a lady right there. I got right to the door and he shut it literally in my face! I tapped the door and asked are going to open the door? He just looked at me then he just started to slowly drive off. I said are you kidding me? I’m right here. The lady said OMG, I can’t believe he just did that to you. This was the 4:40pm bus today, August 19, 2015. Wow, that is not a good public servant!

If they don’t bother, we cannot make them stop drinking in the bus… really… so, not only can smoke and drink on the bus stop, now they allow them to do it inside the bus, well actually is not the firs time I see some one drinking and dumping the can inside the bus, and really bothers the smell of beer and that the drivers may concern more of a loud music on your phone than pick up drunk people with the beer can on a brown paper on the bus stop, isn’t ridiculous you got to put up with a dirty stinky bus and a rude bus driver and now add that… I will accept that a few bus driver’s are really professional and polite…

Well I wish my review counted twice, but this is the last time I’ll give them to make me so mad. I tried giving Tri Delta Transit a 5^th chance but this was just the cherry. I waited 20 mins at the bus stop for the next bus and wouldn’t you know it the bus driver drove right on past me, I called to complain and the nice woman on the phone told me she would give the driver a call, he told her he STOPPED!!! HaHa last time I checked I have no problem with my eyes. I looked up to the left (the way the bus would be coming from) and there it was as my head went right to watch him drive right on by me. I swear!!! I know nothing will happen to him but I feel he deserves a mandatory day off without pay, maybe it will make him think of someone else other than himself. Literally my last time attempting this «service». If I wanted bad service id hitchhike.

I ride the 300 express from Hillcrest Park and Ride in the morning at 5:08, the driver is always late and gets us to the Bart station just in time to miss the 5:32am train but 13 minutes early so we get to wait around in the cold. She doesn’t care she always takes the back roads like she’ giving a tour of section 8 Antioch. We don’t need a tour of this crappy city, just get on the highway and drive us to the Bart station. Their attitude is if you have to ride a bus too bad… get a car and drive. Do yourself a favor ride the 93X to Walnut Creek, it takes a little longer but their buses don’t break down and their not full of low life Oakland workers trying to get to their $ 10 an hour jobs. The old saying is correct, you get what you pay for and in this instance you get even less.

I would give negative stars if I could. I’m blind and take public transit exclusively and this is the worst in the bay area. Completely unreliable, phone staff are rude and unhelpful. The driver of the 385 doesn’t always stop for passengers. Avoid it if you can.

I’m not a frequent user of public transportation, and it’s definitely not my favorite way to get home from work, but we’re a one car family at the moment.
Yes, the bus ride is long, and the wait times can be even longer, but all the drivers I have met have been polite and knowledgeable.
The reason for my rave review is I took the 387 home on Friday, and unknowingly left my wallet on the bus. Having discovered this the next day, I was frantic. I had important documents, cash, credit cards… You name it, it was in there. Today, I called their customer service, and someone had found it and turned it in! Whew!
I went to the office to collect my wallet and everyone was polite and helpful, and my wallet was intact and nothing was missing, something I greatly appreciate :)
Thanks so much Tri Delta!

The thing about the bus is, if you’re taking it, you probably don’t have a ton of options concerning transportation, and it’s your only choice. Otherwise, I would boycott this bus service if I had any other way to get places.
About 2 weeks ago I was waiting for the last bus from Martinez Amtrak to Pittsburg BART. I was there 30 minutes prior to it’s scheduled time, and waited about 30 minutes after it was supposed to be there for it to come. THE BUS NEVER CAME!
So I call Tri Delta to complain and they apologize, tell me that they will look into it and send me a few free day passes. Instead two weeks later I get a letter saying the bus left the Amtrak station 4 minutes after it’s scheduled time and they didn’t give me any free passes.
Is Tri Delta Transit telling me that I’M fucking crazy? I sat at that stop for an hour and watched several County Connection buses come and go and never saw Tri Delta’s bus.
FUCK TRI DELTA TRANSIT. BUM A RIDE FROM SOMEONE. HITCHHIKE. WALK. AVOID THEM. AND IF YOU HAVE TO RIDE, AT LEAST VANDALIZE THEIR BUSES BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT.

Nice drivers? Uh, yeah right. I took Tri Delta Transit for about 8 years and am glad to be in a car polluting our Earth.
Drivers are rude, it takes about 2 hours to get from Antioch to the Pittsburg BART station, busses are crammed, people smell, and the seats are uncomfortable.
One evening I was taking the bus home and was sitting toward the back. The bus driver followed his route behind Safeway in Antioch and suddenly stopped the bus. I was the only person on the bus at this point… suddenly, he shuts off the lights and I can see his silhouette walking toward me. He has his PENIS out and is holding a bucket… in other words, he didn’t realize I was on his bus and was getting ready to pee in his bucket (I guess they’re quite strict with bathroom breaks at Tri Delta or its one of his fetishes?!) so as he is walking toward me, and I am sitting there confused in the dark, I go, «Uhh…hello?!» and he goes, «Oh shit! I didn’t know you was on here!» and hurries back to the front, turns on the light, and starts up the bus. I got off at the stop near my house and walked home, traumatized but laughing nonetheless.
If you absolutely must take the bus, I feel sorry for you. I am just glad I’m in a position to not have to depend on them anymore.
The 300 BART-​only bus in the mornings that goes from Hillcrest straight to BART is fine if you are heading to work, but good luck trying to take it back from the BART station.

like a lot of public transportation, you have to plan your trips like 2 hours before, for example, a class starts or something. some of the people that work there are nice sometimes… only sometimes but most of them seem to be annoyed with any form of human contact. this one time, the numbers on the outside of the bus were different on the back and front and when i asked the driver which bus it was, he was very hostile and speaking to me as if i was 12 years old. so i contacted the main office and complained. and once, the bus was either extremely late or didn’t show and i missed class.

The only time that I use tri-​delta is when I’m on the 300. I think the price has gone up to $ 3 I think (but it’s $ 1.50 with bart transfer pass). The 300 is an awesome alternative to driving. from Brentwood Park-​n-​ride it can take up to an hour to get to bart if passengers get on along hwy 4, but it’s a short ride to bart from Antioch.
Other routes can be lengthy rides, but if there’s somewhere you gotta be most likely tri-​delta can get you there. Just make sure to get to the stop a little early so the driver doesn’t pass you up.
The 300 gets 5 stars all by itself :)

Ok the most unreliable bus transit company! I thank God Very Much that I have an alternate route to getting to BART because if I didn’t, I would have to catch the 389 to BART and wait for hours to get to the stop, and another 20 minutes to actually arriving at the BART Station.
Another reason why I avoid this company is because I feel very very sick sitting on the bus with other people who have very poor hygene. Yuck!!!

The drivers are usually very nice, but their service is unreliable and almost always come late to stops, which is especially nerve wracking when you are in a shady part of Downtown Antioch. They also don’t have very many stops and don’t go very many places for what you pay for.
Recommended only if going between BART and the Park-​n-​ride. They always come on time to those places and the buses are great.
