The bus driver was very professional, and he also loaded all our luggage without being asked. Also, when I arrived at Whitby, he was kind enough to bring out all the luggage - very different since other bus services don’t do that. The drive was also very smooth, he communicated well throughout the journey. I was impressed that the journey started about 25 minutes late, we still arrived 25 minutes later in Whitby. So was easy to plan my pick up from Whitby.

Ride would’ve been good if the bus driver wasn’t making my fiancé feel uncomfortable with his words. He said to her “you aren’t joining me?” In a flirtatious manner. Highly disrespectful. I urge him to watch what he says

My rides with rider express are normally amazing however this time around there was a homeless person whom was aloud on the bus without a ticket Wich eventually during the trip caused a fight between another passenger as the homeless man was
Making inappropriate regards I am not sure why the man was allowed on the bus in the first place as this eventually ended in several delays and a physical altercation
