Rider Express Merritt Banff recent customer reviews
Bus driver in Merritt very unfriendly. He could at least say hello…just said “ your I’d” in his miserable voice. I rode Ebus to Merritt a few days before and the driver was so nice and friendly as well as the staff in Vancouver. The driver for Rider Express in Merritt was miserable and there was only two people getting on the bus. The driver went inside to enjoy his break or whatever and left us standing with our luggage for 20 minutes.
