My journey was fine the only problem was that my journey was only made necessary because the driver of the previous bus refused to wait for two extra minutes for my husband’s glasses to be delivered to him. I had to take them with me and book the next available bus to Calgary in order to give them to him before his flight takes off. So, mixed feelings on this one.

The address of departure was different than the one I had booked my trip from. Turns out the bus didn’t even pick up from the place that was described on the ticket but in a different parking lot and I almost missed it. The driver was really nice but wasn’t even given the right pick up address. The bus was also late departing and arriving, with once again, a different drop off. Not impressed by the company…

It was a good trip but would have been better if passengers left something on their seat to show it was taken. I had to move twice before finding a seat I could keep.
