Cold Shot Calgary Grande Prairie recent customer reviews

It was the most uncomfortable bus ride I ever was on . The driver took way more than the 10 minutes at secondary stops, he was all over the rumble strips. And from Edmonton to Grande Prairie not even halfway the driver stopped at 2 gaz station that were closed grinding the trailer severely. Very disappointing I will not be travelling cold shot buses ever again

Red Arrow Calgary Grande Prairie recent customer reviews

Honestly, the driver of the first bus should be fired, because he was absolutely terrible. Always driving on the rumble strips in either lane, quick and dangerous lane changes, and overall a very poor driver, but the lady driver on the second leg of the trip from Edmonton to Grande Prairie was excellent and should be treated as such (I hope she is)

It was clean, great help with any questions. On time. When a tree fell across the road we went to grab a coffee at Tim Horton instead of sitting on the road. Everyone cheered and the next stop was shorter so lost no time. It was quiet. Could sleep read or play games on phone
