Cold Shot Red Deer Fort McMurray recent customer reviews
The seats are way to close together and too small I had buddy's elbows jabbing into my waist the whole trip and we are both small. Kid behind me was screaming and grabbing my seat therefore pulling my hair. Guy was on his phone talking with the speaker so loud. It was the worst trip ever, I will never take that bus again.

Bus staff was good. Edmonton office staff was impolite and during the transfer there was confusion about bus departure time, and when it came time to board there was no announcement of boarding.
