The Canada Bus Edmonton Calgary recent customer reviews
Bus was as expected, charging ports didn't work though. The driver was terrible, couldn't maintain lane position , never used a signal light , drove 70mph through 2 80kph construction zones and constantly tailgating cars while flashing highbeams at them . Then of course he was called out for scrolling through cellphone while operating the bus . If I could give 0 stars I would

FlixBus Edmonton Calgary recent customer reviews
Cancelled the bus and only notified folks 45 minutes later. Next bus filled up and people were left with the option to wait for 4pm, or book a different bus. Between my partner and I, we’ve had 9 trips with flixbus and 6 of those have had issues: broken down bus x2, late by over 15min x2, cancelled 1 and air conditioning broken 2x in middle of summer. I will not be booking with flixbus again

Dislikes: It was unclear when booking that we had 4 stops in Calgary. I wish I had known it was not direct.
I thought I had chosen good seats but when I arrived I was in the back by the washroom.
The stops took additional time for patrons and the driver to smoke. And we arrived 30 minutes late.

Roof above me was making a loud clicking noise the whole ride. Left the bus with a migraine
Rider Express receives high praise for its friendly and professional drivers, particularly Adrian, who is noted for his excellent communication skills and helpfulness. The service is described as affordable with clean buses that are generally on time. However, there were concerns about overbooking issues leading to anxiety among passengers needing connections.
Loved how fast and efficient the experience was, the ride was only 2 hours and 45 minutes including a 15 minute break at Red Deer. The only complaint would be to have a sign or specific location to meet. A few other passengers as well as myself were confused on the exact location to wait for the bus. Other than that it was good.

The bus ride was great up until red deer when they switched drivers. The driver who came on was very rude. And told ever single person on the bus the could keep there bags either on there lap or on the seat beside them if it was empty but if there bag was to big it had to be put up top and there were so many people who had backpacks who kept them on the floor or on there lap so I tried to both those things and she wouldn't let me do either and came back when I was taking off my jacket and putting it in my bag she stood there and watched me and said in a loud rude tone “ put ur bag up top now so we can leave.” and wouldn't even give me time to get my water out or anything then proceed to say I wasn't allowed to get it for the rest of the trip because we can't stand while the bus is moving. I'm very upset and feel very disrespectful because she was literally walking down the bus looking under seats and I was the only one she told to put my bag up. The same size as everyone else too. And in fact I could have squished it to make it smaller because it's mostly empty. I have pictures of peoples backpacks under there seats. Even the girl beside me.

The seats were roomy however I didn’t know the seats were assigned so it would have been nice to have an option for a seat rather than being told what seat I’m assigned to. Staff were friendly and professional.

Would not do it again. Hot & sweaty, no air and fully packed bus. The lady sitting next to me had a huge back pack and 3 coats on her lap. There were 2 people (both men, go figure) that put their bag on the seat next to them, occupying space. This should be monitored and not allowed.
