Cold Shot Fort McMurray Red Deer recent customer reviews
The bus seats were very small and I was squished the whole ride. the heat was blaring the whole
Ride to Edmonton. I asked the driver to turn the heat down and he said it wasn’t even in but it was so hot I was sweating the entire ride and had to block the heat by using my jacket to shove between the wall and seat. Staff was great and bus was very clean though.
