Suburban Express Dennis Toeppen Company filed a lawsuit against me and 125 other passengers Champaign Illinois
Report Attachments
Suburban Express has sued over 100 of its passengers for what it calls "fradulent tickets" as well as other damages arising from acts such as "disruptive behavior". a ticket is labeled "fradulent" when it is accidently used on the wrong day (ie a return ticket is used), used at the wrong time, used for the wrong pick up location, etc. This results in the cost of a ticket, a $100 fine, court fees, and attorney fees. This can add over to over $200. Despite the ticket being, and I quote, "fradulent", the bus driver lets the student on the bus in an attempt to entrap a student.
Suburban Express also bans its riders, often. Anyone who writes a negative comment on Yelp gets banned. Although the unfiltered Yelp reviews show how terrible this company is, look at the filtered reviews:

The owner, Dennis Toeppen, has also purportedly taken to Reddit where he has attempted to harass and intimidate others who speak out about Suburban Express.

In this instance, a police report was even filed against him for throwing away a passengers property after he told her to come pick it up:

Despite having a high rating on the BBB, Suburban Express has received numerous complaints. Don't let this fool you.
