Passengers from Calgary was late coming to Edmonton bus depot. This is not the first time we had to wait.

I want to clarify that the driver and the bus ride were not the issue. The real problem for me was getting to the bus stop from the airport. As this was my first time in Edmonton, I found it frustrating that there were no clear directions on how to reach the bus stop, and there was no customer service available to assist if help was needed. I suggest providing a clearer address so that people can use MapQuest or share it with Uber or taxi drivers for better navigation. This would be very helpful.

Cold Shot Edmonton Fort McMurray recent customer reviews

I enjoyed about time conscious...I was a bit concerned I would be late coz I had to catch a site bus 45 mins after arrival scheduled time! And the bus made it 4 minutes earlier which beat my expectations. Thank you Cold Shot management and the driver! I made it way on time for my site bus!

Great ride. 10/10 my only concern to bring up is that the driver should be more aware of how many people are on the bus and to make sure nobody is left behind at stops.

Comfort but I had my baggage issue. My luggage was taken by another passager leaving his baggage behind. It was hectic because I had frozen food in my luggage.

People talking on their phone using speaker and leaving their phone ringers on. Giving a drunk guy too many chances when he should have been kicked off in grasslands but we had to pull over multiple times after he was warned waking me up. I’ve this trip many times with no issues but this time was not good.
