The trip was great, the only problem was that it was very cold in there and I was freezing all the way to Red Deer.

The process of getting “Uber’d” and/or “shuttle bussed from the airport to the actual bus that doesn’t come to the airport is annoying. I had better experiences and seat quality with other bus companies.

There was a very drunk man who sat beside me and touched my face. I don't know how he was and we didn't exchange so much as a hello before he did that. He then passed out and was falling on me most of the way. His music was blasting and I eventually had to stand on the seat and jump over him because he could not be woken up.
