It was a lovely route however the buss was 30 min late and it was a mini van with no Wi-Fi or toilets. But doesn’t really matter. Just would be god to know
The bus was good and the seats were nice. However, the bus was late in arriving at pick up by approx 30 mins. Need to improve this.
Worst experience ever . Bus was 45 mins late and on calling customer service they said we have no idea where bus is. Ruined my whole trip and I cancelled. Lost my money
According to customer reviews, Rider Express provides great service with friendly and helpful drivers. The buses are clean and comfortable, although there have been some delays due to a busy season. Overall, customers had fun and safe trips with this affordable bus company. Additionally, the booking process is easy and convenient, with clear pick-up and drop-off points. However, it was suggested that improving the proximity of the coach to Westbrook Mall train station would enhance the journey experience from Calgary city.
Rider Express Calgary Banff recent customer reviews
Easy to find and book the right bus service. The pick up and drop off point was clear and fairly easy to get to: Although the pick up point at Westbrook Mall could be vastly improved if the coach was closer to (adjacent) to the train station ~ it just makes for an easier, more seamless journey from Calgary city. Coach trip itself was very good: pleasant and clear coach driver (Simon); timing was as advertised /perfect.
The driver was very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way guiding us through. Great service.
Rider Express is actually good and very affordable. The bus is clean and comfortable. It’s just late because of a busy season but overall, it was a fun and safe trip.
