Rider Express Vancouver Calgary recent customer reviews
The directions on were to meet the bus at the airport were a bit confusing. I figured it out. Level 2 on the international side. Not level 3. Other then that everything was good
Both bus drivers were excellent. Very friendly and informative. Bus was newer and in good condition, had a working lavatory and comfy seats.
Besides the bus catching on fire, we would have been stuck on the pass if I wouldn't have helped the driver, not to mention the owner on the phone didn't offer any thanks whatsoever for the assistance that I gave not to mention my clothes I was wearing pretty much ruined at least the driver thanked me for helping get us back on the road
