The Canada Bus Calgary Red Deer recent customer reviews
We were picked up from downtown calgary and dumped to wait for another bus in the open at crossiron mills for over 30 mins in a snowstorm. All calls did not help and the new driver had no apologies for delaying us. We got to our destination ( red deer) an hour after schedule and missed our connections.

Nicolas C.
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.
