Rider Express Vancouver Calgary recent customer reviews
The company, bus and driver were excellent. Passengers talking incessantly on their phones, not so much. Several had to be asked by the driver to stop.
Curtis B.
Enjoyed the trip, although I gotta say that those seats are uncomfortable in the extreme.
Fj D.
Bus stopped and the wheel slipped. Passengers were waited for long time. But the driver, kind man and some passengers tried hard to move the bus. We could move again. It was a little terrible. But this experience was exciting. Thanks to the driver and all passengers.
