FlixBus Red Deer Calgary recent customer reviews
It was a great trip to Calgary international airport. Driver was awesome and took the normal hours despite of snowy slippery conditions.
5 out of 5 stars
Rafaela J.
My journey was fine the only problem was that my journey was only made necessary because the driver of the previous bus refused to wait for two extra minutes for my husband’s glasses to be delivered to him. I had to take them with me and book the next available bus to Calgary in order to give them to him before his flight takes off. So, mixed feelings on this one.

Jovita E.
The address of departure was different than the one I had booked my trip from. Turns out the bus didn’t even pick up from the place that was described on the ticket but in a different parking lot and I almost missed it. The driver was really nice but wasn’t even given the right pick up address. The bus was also late departing and arriving, with once again, a different drop off. Not impressed by the company…

I was in Tim Horton’s and didn’t know when the bus arrived. I thought the driver would call, text or email but they didn’t and the bus left without me. I was so disappointed ☹️

The bus only arrived ten minutes before departure when the ticket said to board fifteen minutes before departure, but it wasn’t a huge deal. Just something to be aware of.
