Rider Express Fort McMurray Banff recent customer reviews
My experience with Rider Express was overall very positive. I enjoyed the convenience of their online booking system and the comfortable seating on the bus. The driver was professional and courteous, and the journey was smooth and on-time. What I appreciated most was the affordability and flexibility of their schedules, which fit perfectly with my travel plans. The bus was clean and well-maintained, and I felt safe throughout the trip. One area for improvement could be the prolonged layover for the next trip and so much connective trips all throughout.This can significantly impact my trip experience. Overall, I'd recommend Rider Express to others looking for a reliable and budget-friendly transportation option. The staff were friendly, and the service was efficient. I'd definitely consider using them again in the future
