Red Arrow User Reviews
Red Arrow receives praise for its clean and comfortable buses, with passengers appreciating the spacious seating. However, some concerns were noted regarding non-functional outlets and occasional unpleasant odors from the bathroom. There were also mentions of unexpected stops during trips and issues related to wheelchair access that could be improved upon in future services.
I like the communication letting me know if there are any changes in the schedule and route, the complimentary drinks and snacks, and the attentiveness of the two—or three-member crew. Also, being able to choose where to sit comfortably, like in an airplane-style chair (pull-out tables are included for each chair), is a bonus.

Comfort, drinks, wish gluten free and vegan snacks. Toilet stunk and light did not turn on. On return trip Canmore to Calgary a vehicle cut off bus and almost hit bus so driver honked. He was a funny driver. Canmore the hotel where bus picks up and took me to Calgary does not have a public toilet and I was happy Red Arrow did. Andrea.

Smooth drive. Was able to get to my destination earlier than scheduled.

Never got to ride it. My flight got delayed so because I didn’t call them to advise of the delay they noted my ticket as a no show. But there was no instructions telling me I had to do that. I did send an email to notify them but that wasn’t good enough. I had to purchase another ticket with a different bus company.

They offered a 15% discount of the restaurant in Kingston, which is really good.
