Rider Express Vancouver Calgary recent customer reviews

It was a wonderful and memorable journey, I love the natural beauty of Canada, people are very polite, Rider express is playing excellent role in exploring the beauty of Canada. We wish all the best in future as well. There is need of improvement of WiFi service I think it's slow because of the mountainous landscape.
