Bus was very uncomfortable and the drop off location in Calgary downtown is very inconvenient as there’s nothing to do around while waiting for the next bus

Your driver between Calgary and Edmonton was rude. The bus from Banff was over half an hour late, I was waiting outdoors for 30 minutes at below freezing temperatures. Your online support was good. Mimi was very pleasant and very helpful. I won’t take the bus again unless there is no choice.
