The trip was less onerous than expected, though the procedures at Vancouver left a bit to be desired.. everything else good, toilet very clean, and even though we were late into Calgary, considering the weather was acceptable.. crew kept informed as to progress
Arrived at the station to find the bus was suspended. Luckily I made other plans with via rail. I've been stranded by air Canada for five days and the bus was supposed to get me out of Vancouver.
The bus Driver was very friendly and professional. He drove us safe through the night and snow. Also clear and helpful communication through announcements.
It’s okay, the busses are fine and seating is comfy and spacious but the fact it has no wifi is a joke and I would literally be willing to pay an additional $20 a trip if they added it. Would make everything better with the growing tech world
a surprise out of nowhere. until this trip i did not know of this company. now im spreading the word to others who been stuck needing a economic solution in travel.
Rider Express was awesome driver was great would I highly recommend travelling with this company. Five stars vary happy thanks Rider Express looking forward to travelling with u in the future.
Quality trip with plenty of fantastic views, the bus drivers were helpful and friendly and the bus its self was very comfortable!
There's enough stops on the way to stretch your legs and use the washroom that you'll barely have to use the one on board, overall very happy with my trip!
It’s the weather conditions cause the delay. It’s all good. Thanks for the delay let me could catch my bus. The driver was a good driver I felt safe and comfortable.
Staff was excellent bus was somewhat comfortable road conditions were not great but the driver still got everyone to their destination all in all a good trip
Great overall. Good comfort, on time, professional staff. The only issue is that the bus was idling for no reason during breaks, sometimes for 30min in a row in a mild day. So much fuel wasted and avoidable carbon emissions.
Both drivers were friendly and professional and ensured all passengers were respectful of others space and need for quiet. Often checked on us for feedback on temperature. Only reason bus was late is because we hit a snowstorm after Canmore. Our driver put our safety over schedule and I felt he was a very competent driver. Bus was clean and comfortable. Great trip.
Terrible location of destination Calgary (Road King, Barlow Trail)::Far from city centre, no public transport available, hard to find in industrial/truck stop area, no station, etc., etc.,
Our initial bus smelled of smoke. The, driver did not announce stops.
Our second driver announced stops
The bus had technical difficulties, we were stuck in Revelstoke for nearly four hours waiting for a replacement bus.
