Rider Express Vancouver Calgary recent customer reviews
Both bus drivers were excellent. Very friendly and informative. Bus was newer and in good condition, had a working lavatory and comfy seats.
Besides the bus catching on fire, we would have been stuck on the pass if I wouldn't have helped the driver, not to mention the owner on the phone didn't offer any thanks whatsoever for the assistance that I gave not to mention my clothes I was wearing pretty much ruined at least the driver thanked me for helping get us back on the road
I didn’t like that we were stopped for an extended period of time with no clear communication from the first driver as to why. I liked that the second driver gave clear instructions and let us know where we were stopping. I didn’t enjoy that I must have got off at the wrong stop because I was lead to believe there was only one stop in Calgary. I don’t believe they announced the Westbrook stop so I thought it was marbourgh mall. My family drove across the city to pick me up there it was not enjoyable
