FlixBus Calgary Banff recent customer reviews
The bus was less than half full so I'm glad the system assigned me the pair of seats for myself which made the trip comfortable. The downside was there was no holder or pocket on the back of the seat for your water. For a charging, make sure it is a USB connecting which I didn't know. And lastly, connected to their Wifi but it said no internet when I bought the ticket which said there was. So download your shows prior.

Andrew M.
I was disappointed in every way, except for the polite voice and attitude of the driver. 1. The bus was 55minutes late(cutting into my 48hour trip), while the neighbouring company had two buses come and go.
2. The bus itself was old, dirty, only lap seatbelts, no suspension, the door flapped/rattled l the whole ride and cold air blowing in. 3. No music. 4. Hard seats.
5. It was SO noisy - couldn’t even speak to the other 3 people on the bus without raising my voice - combo of hearing every bump in the road and the door banging I guess. 6. The bus had NO suspension- every bump hurt my back and jarred my head. Super unprofessional mode of transportation- for a very high price. Not satisfied at all.
Based on 4 reviews, the company was rated 5 stars on Busbud. Travelers were especially satisfied with the staff and the timeliness but often complained with the ticket access. Banff Autobus Link ticket prices on this trip start at CZK 260

On-It Calgary Banff recent customer reviews
The bus reached in time for my trip from Calgary to Banff. I was a disastrous on the way back from Banff . The bus did not show up in the designated place for departure as shown in the bus ticket ( Red Carpet Inn) as well in Elk street in Banff as suggested by the driver who dropped us on that spot on the trip from Calgary to Banff) . The weather outside was bad and we had to walk few times between elk street and red carpet in heavy rain for the bus . Later on booked a ticket in Flix bus with the help Banff visitors info centre to come back to Calgary! When checked the email from On It for revised location of the departure it was too late .

Our bus was supposed to come at 8:10 am, but the company sent us an email at 8:.06 that there will be a delay in the pick up time, without any other information. And around 9:18am then sent another email that the bus will pick us at 9:49 am !! We were waiting in the street and it was sunny and windy. I don’t think I would choose this company again. Fortunately the next bus of the same company came around 8:40 am and was able to accommodate us

The only thing I didn't like was after we started moving, the bathroom on the bus got really humid and the toilet was covered in condensation. Other then that, the service and trip was great. The driver specifically was super friendly and funny!
