it would have been helpful to know more details about the break - how long, where we could get food etc. earlier in the journey

Drivers were perfect and good travel time. Just in the station probably more clear verbal or written announcements could be so helpful for new clients.

20 min. Late due to traffic so one break was only 10 min. Driver didn’t announce stops and was not very informative.

The toilet was out of service for one than the bus driver was very rude with every one on the bus I could not believe that guy what he said

I enjoyed the view and was nice to take a break from driving . What I didn’t enjoy was being told last minute that my trip was over at the airport . The bus driver was kind enough to offer us a ride into town but I declined the offer . I have been travelling on the bus for years and this was by far the worst experience on the bus that I have ever had . Disorganization +++

Red Arrow BC Vancouver Kelowna recent customer reviews

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip yesterday to Kelowna from Vancouver. Customer service was excellent, from the staff checking us in to the courteous drivers. I can’t think of anything that needed to be improved. The seats were comfy, wifi was much appreciated, plus having a bathroom on board. Having coffee/tea/pop and cookies available was an added bonus! Our drivers were very personable, and I really appreciated Colin’s attention and concern for us passengers. The weather was kind of nasty, but he handled the road like a real pro. I will definitely use the bus service again!
