I thought we were getting one bus with one seating arrangement and we had booked them and then the bus was changed at the last minute. So I didn’t like the different layout, the fact that our senior choices were not honoured and the different provider.

The bus driver was super skilled (Robbie). She got us from Vancouver to Merritt despite the snow and black ice. (And the big accident in the highway). I was terrified the entire way. Yet she got us there! And then from Merritt to Kelowna, the driver (Shane?) was excellent too. Really appreciate the drivers who get us safely to our destinations!!! May they sleep tonight! And hopefully they get a Christmas bonus!

Red Arrow BC Vancouver Kelowna recent customer reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip yesterday to Kelowna from Vancouver. Customer service was excellent, from the staff checking us in to the courteous drivers. I can’t think of anything that needed to be improved. The seats were comfy, wifi was much appreciated, plus having a bathroom on board. Having coffee/tea/pop and cookies available was an added bonus! Our drivers were very personable, and I really appreciated Colin’s attention and concern for us passengers. The weather was kind of nasty, but he handled the road like a real pro. I will definitely use the bus service again!

The toilet was out of service for one than the bus driver was very rude with every one on the bus I could not believe that guy what he said

Mario T.

June 20, 2025

I enjoyed the view and was nice to take a break from driving . What I didn’t enjoy was being told last minute that my trip was over at the airport . The bus driver was kind enough to offer us a ride into town but I declined the offer . I have been travelling on the bus for years and this was by far the worst experience on the bus that I have ever had . Disorganization +++
