Rider Express receives praise for its smooth rides and helpful staff, with passengers appreciating the safe driving. However, some reviews mention delays without timely notifications and issues like unclean seats or uncomfortable temperatures during trips. Despite these concerns, many travelers find the overall experience satisfactory due to careful drivers and convenient facilities such as onboard restrooms.

Drivers were friendly and helpful. Bus was clean and comfortable. Ticket prices were excellent. (Minor complaint - they didn't adjust the schedule for very light traffic on New Year's day, so we were way ahead of schedule and had to wait at two bus stops enroute.) Overall, very satisfied with the service.

It was very bad experience travelling from Edmonton to Lloydminster on 1/6/26.Time was 1.30 pm but bus came 2. 10pm. Me and my husband were standing outside near about 50 minutes . It is winter time . No proper place where we can sit or stand. We both are seniors. Management should know the condition of weather.
