FlixBus Edmonton Red Deer recent customer reviews
The driver was almost a half hour late (bus was supposed to leave at 925..left at almost 10 to 10). The bathroom was dirty with 'fluids' anx urine dried on the seat. There was a kafuffle over people taking others seat, a long discussion involving people neing rescedualed to this bus after another eas cancelled but they couldnt either fond the ticket or the site didnt send verication yo the fivet, and people talking loudy on their phone and the same passenger sprayed insane amounts of heavily scented fragrence. And, of course leaving late means arriving late.

The ride was very good the waiting area in Edmonton is not inviting. I know it is to reduce costs but just a parking lot loading is kind of sketchy in my mind.
4.0 out of 5 stars

Yes very good but the stop on Edmonton was confusing, dark and odd being in a back alley.

Ebus AB Edmonton Red Deer recent customer reviews
Sadly the E bus left early. I was there at 2:23 and it had already left. They say they left a few minutes after the set time; all I can say is my truth by my car clock which is set right.

The journey on the bus was great; however, I booked the ticket for my sister. I made an error and had placed my own name. I was forced to cancel the ticket and when I went to rebook it cost double the amount.

They delayed us for over an hour in Edmonton, without informing us of the reason. We (passengers) later realized that they had mechanical issues. After an hour and 40 minutes, they got us another bus for the trip. No apology was rendered whatsoever. The driver never communicated about the issue. This is the worst service I have ever had! I always travel by bus to Red Deer but with other bus services. I had to book a last-minute trip and that’s why I had to use this bus service. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND Ebus.
The bus service receives high praise for its friendly and accommodating drivers, who are often described as courteous and professional. Many users appreciate the comfortable seats, clean buses, and timely arrivals. However, some reviews mention minor issues like inadequate charging ports or air conditioning adjustments. Overall, passengers report a pleasant travel experience with attentive customer service.

Couldn't connect to wifi and someone had completely closed off the bathroom with a rope to keep the door shut

Kye D.
Was on time with a pleasant driver.
What I didn’t like was I didn’t know if I was at the right spot to catch the bus. No sign and the people at the site didn’t seem to know that there was even a bus coming.

Terrible. Missed the bus because of a local marathon. No options to hold the coach. Ticket isn't refundable. Funds can't be used on a future commute.

There was a free single seat right at the front that was right across from me that was free I would of much rather been told I could seat there instead of beside someone whose I don't know . I would of completely understood if the bus was full but it was not .

Cold Shot Edmonton Red Deer recent customer reviews
First off, the attendant at the counter was very inexperienced. Secondly, we had to wait for over an hour before the bus arrived. No communication, no apology, nothing. Just left us wondering.

Terrible. The freight truck with seats would never pass a safety inspection. No shocks. Awful experience. I will be reporting this company to the Alberta Department of Transportation.
