How does Northeastern RedEye work?
- Northeastern RedEye is an on-demand travel concept that takes multiple passengers heading in the same direction and books them into a shared vehicle. Using the Northeastern RedEye app, input your address and we’ll match you with a vehicle going your way. We’ll pick you up at the designated pick-up zone at Snell Library and drop you at the doorstep of your off-campus residence. Our smart algorithms provide journey times that are comparable to a taxi and much more convenient than other modes of travel.

How long will I wait?
- You'll always get an accurate estimate of your pick-up ETA before booking. You can also track your minibus in real time in the app.

How many passengers will I share a vehicle with?
- RedEye specializes in shared-rides, so you will share a ride home with other Northeastern students who are traveling in a similar direction. You will be able to book a ride for yourself and one guest.

Try this new on-demand transport app that is guaranteed to change the way that you think about traveling. We look forward to you seeing you on your next journey. Just click and go!

Horrible experience with the new app and the red-eye service in total. It's nearly impossible to get a seat, as everything is booked out (even if vans are half empty). For the couple of times where I was lucky to get a seat, the van was delayed by more than 20 minutes. Therefore the pickup time is useless. In some cases my reservation completely disappeared without notice...after I waited for over 40 minutes. I would have walked faster but I prefer not to walk thru sketchy areas in the night.

The concept of the service is great, but the algorithm that assigns rides is absolutely trash. Many a ride is going with half the seats empty and yet people who really need it cannot get a ride for the sole reason that there isn't another person looking for a ride in the same direction as you. Not a service I can rely on.

Dissappointimg app. The app just keeps extending my trip and changing my driver. It now shows that my driver is 3 minutes away and it has been showing this for the past 10 mins. Please fix your algorithm.
