Ebus Edmonton Grande Prairie recent customer reviews

The bus was comfy but packed which at this time of year is to be expected. Mostly I was disappointed because my tickets included luggage and my 24 hour reminder said the same thing and then when I got to the depot they extorted me out of 20 dollars per carry on because of changes I was not notified of.

I didn’t appreciate smokers standing in the open doorway to smoke as it came onto the bus. They were asked to stay close to the bus, but this was ridiculous. It was also an unscheduled stop so the driver could have a smoke
