I am a visitor for the first time in Canada.
- The bus was delayed by around 20 minutes to leave Calgary and 45 minutes to reach Edmonton.
- There was no wifi on the bus which prevented me from getting/providing updates from/to the person waiting for me.
- There were passengers talking loudly for the whole duration of the trip.
- The tracker wasn't working.
- The number of the bus was different than what is showing on the ticket which prevented knowing it arrived.

The expierence was good the bus wasn’t too empty as I picked an evening ride and the seat beside me was unoccupied so it was nice, there is plenty leg room. One thing I would’ve been low ambient it gets quite dark at night and would feel cozier

I was a bit late and still was able to make it before they departed. They wait for passengers which is greatly appreciated. I was only a few minutes late.
Red Arrow receives high praise for its comfortable seating, clean buses, and friendly staff. Many passengers appreciate the punctuality and professionalism of the drivers. Complimentary snacks are a pleasant surprise for travelers. However, some reviews mention issues with mechanical problems causing delays and concerns about pricing in Canadian dollars instead of American currency conversion rates.

The bus was very clean and comfortable; however, I found the reflections caused by the tinted windows very disconcerting. It may have been the result of the overcast day which may have been worse but not completely. The only way to eliminate it was by turning your head 90 degrees to look straight out which was very uncomfortable. I get motion sickness if I read in a moving vehicle so window gazing is very important to me. I was in the small bus.
