Changed the bus to smaller bus due to some mechanical issues, but the smaller bus was so uncomfortable.

It is so cramped and seats are very uncomfortable. I am a short person, so a taller petson would be really uncomfortable.

Good experience. Minimal stops along the way and the driver was courteous. Wifi signal was weak through much of the trip.

Blake B.

The interior of the bus was clean considering the road condition and weather. Not sure if it is normal, but we left at 835 AM, which was five minutes late. It was my first time taking Rider Express, or any regional bus in Alberta, so I am not certain if there is a "waiting period". Not a big deal to most passengers for sure. Initial impression with the driver was not good. I asked if I could get off at Spruce Grove, as I needed to attend to a matter nearby, but his response was not something that left a good impression. It is one thing to be firm, but I asked nicely and it was again, my first time on Rider Express. He needs to polish his customer service skills. His announcements throughout the journey had a friendlier tone, in fairness. Driving was done in a safe manner. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely good value for the money.
