The bus was extremely uncomfortable. The seats were narrow and there was no arm rest between the seats. There were no assigned seats, safety briefing, or water.

The drivers were very friendly and helpful. But while waiting to be transferred to the next bus at Calgary, I had no where to sit; I had to stand with sun scorching for an hour and forty minutes.
