Cold Shot Athabasca Fort McMurray recent customer reviews
Bus was on time for pickup & we arrived 20-25 min early. However, seats were uncomfortable & the bus was very noisy & rough. Was difficult to sleep as I had hoped during an early morning travel.

We were sold a ticket a day in advance I begin to attempt to confirm pickup location 4 hours before and 2 hours after scheduled pick up time we were told the bus wasn’t running today. No one will address the question of how we will be refunded.
