It was hard being disabled to get up the stairs on the bus, would be easier if the floor lowered. Wasn’t able to use the bathroom as someone was always in it. Not very much leg room in the seats.

People smelt like alcohol the whole time and were drinking in-front of me and ruined it.

Ebus BC Calgary Salmon Arm recent customer reviews
I definitely enjoyed the shorter trip. Driver was very friendly. I think the only thing I wasn’t happy with was the seatbelts. I know seatbelts are law in a moving vehicle but mine continuously locked in place to the point that I couldn’t move so I had to keep unlocking it, put it back then pull it out again just to have it lock once again. Also if a passenger needed something from their carry on they were not allowed to get up and get it while the bus was in motion.
I love the pick up/drop off locations in Calgary and Salmon Arm.
I would definitely use Ebus for any future trips.
