Dwayne F.
Everything was great other than the fact that the bus was only about 20% full yet the assigned seats were a bit crammed in. As a matter of fact, some singles sat next to each other. For example, Row 12 Seats A and B. I would suggest spreading out singles as they book the tickets and one each set of two seats has one passenger, then double up the singles.

It is seamless, after a busy week at my conference, having something simple to use to go visit a friend is what I needed. 😊

Laurel D.
Terrible, I got charged $75 for bringing a skateboard on
The driver forced me to pay or miss the bus altogether
He showed me the rules and it said snowboards or skis said nothing about a skateboard snowboards and skis are 3 to 4 times the size of a small skateboard and he charged me and forced me to pay it

Just the guy in seat 7 who thought it was a good idea to take a zoom call. Very rude and likely didn't hear drivers instructions at the beginning. I told this guy when I got off in Res Deer he was rude and not considerate to other passengers

Courteous staff, very comfortable seats and although the traffic was stalled on Hwy 2, the driver drove safely all the way and we were only a few minutes late arriving in Red Deer.

Nicolas C.
There was a very drunk man who sat beside me and touched my face. I don't know how he was and we didn't exchange so much as a hello before he did that. He then passed out and was falling on me most of the way. His music was blasting and I eventually had to stand on the seat and jump over him because he could not be woken up.

Bus was clean, on time, and comfortable enough. Wifi didn't work this trip though
