We got ditched at Salmon Arm. Then bussed back to Kamloops to catch the night bus through!! Thank goodness I was travelling on a day that had a night bus! 13 hour trip turned into 20 hours.

I found the bus very clean and nice and the drivers were wonderful. The only negative I can bring up is the bathroom should have more then velcro to keep in shut on a winding road. The trip from Vancouver to Banff is very winding and it was an overnight trip so the whole trip, everyone was kept awake due to the door constantly slamming open on every turn. If that wasn't the case, it would have been, by far the best bus trip I've ever experienced.

I am from Asia and it is the first time for me to take long haul bus. In the beginning, I think my destination is the bus terminus and everybody will take off and I care free where the stop is and turn out it is not and I need to affirm with the driver it is my destination again. A good experience as the bus will go on to other places afterwards
