Very poor service. Unclear instructions for pick up and we missed it although we asked for the bus driver to wait 30 seconds and he declined.

There seemed to be some confusion at pick up. The driver had arrived 30 minutes before our departure and then left without any passengers. We were able to connect with company and they sent another bus. We departed 50 minutes later than planned.

There was NO pickup details given on ticket. I went to where ALL the other buses leave from and waited 15mins then ran through the terminal asking where to find it to only be sent it the wrong direction and missed the bus I had originally booked. The AI help was absolutely awful and slow to respond. I don't know if I ever TRULY was connected with an actual LIVE AGENT.

The drivers are praised for their hospitality, informative commentary about local sights, and proactive communication regarding travel details.

Grant (the driver) was an absolute pleasure to deal with! The ride was smooth from start to finish. I received a text with the pickup details ahead of time, and once we arrived in Banff, Grant went above and beyond—he didn’t just drop me off at the designated spot but took the time to drive around and help me find my group. Truly excellent service!

Bus was very comfortable with seat belts, plug inside and adjustable seats. The commentary was very informative and he was very well spoken. All three lakes were beautiful. All worth visiting.

Our driver was absolutely fantastic. He texted the night before to inform us of where to meet and what gate it was amazing. Then he texted today to let us know that he would be arriving at the gate. He was so full of information and made the trip from Calgary beyond enjoyable. We would highly recommend, Richard was absolutely fantastic.

The bus reached in time for my trip from Calgary to Banff. I was a disastrous on the way back from Banff . The bus did not show up in the designated place for departure as shown in the bus ticket ( Red Carpet Inn) as well in Elk street in Banff as suggested by the driver who dropped us on that spot on the trip from Calgary to Banff) . The weather outside was bad and we had to walk few times between elk street and red carpet in heavy rain for the bus . Later on booked a ticket in Flix bus with the help Banff visitors info centre to come back to Calgary! When checked the email from On It for revised location of the departure it was too late .

Our bus was supposed to come at 8:10 am, but the company sent us an email at 8:.06 that there will be a delay in the pick up time, without any other information. And around 9:18am then sent another email that the bus will pick us at 9:49 am !! We were waiting in the street and it was sunny and windy. I don’t think I would choose this company again. Fortunately the next bus of the same company came around 8:40 am and was able to accommodate us

The only thing I didn't like was after we started moving, the bathroom on the bus got really humid and the toilet was covered in condensation. Other then that, the service and trip was great. The driver specifically was super friendly and funny!
According to customer reviews, Rider Express provides great service with friendly and helpful drivers. The buses are clean and comfortable, although there have been some delays due to a busy season. Overall, customers had fun and safe trips with this affordable bus company. Additionally, the booking process is easy and convenient, with clear pick-up and drop-off points. However, it was suggested that improving the proximity of the coach to Westbrook Mall train station would enhance the journey experience from Calgary city.
