Rider Express Fort McMurray Calgary recent customer reviews
It was good but it was really difficult for me to locate the location for the bus from Calgary to Edmonton for today so I had to re book another bus
5 out of 5 stars
Sibusiso Maggie N.
The second part of my journey was cancelled so i had to book a later time for that extending my trip by 4 hours. Then the bus was 45 minutes late. At the rest stop the bus bathroom was in use and the driver said we arent having a break because he had to drive back after he droppes us off. When i said its not fair he told me he would call the police cause i talk to much. Ive been taking rider express for 8 months. By far my worst experience. Will never ride with them again

Ebus Fort McMurray Calgary recent customer reviews
Fort McMurray To Edmonton Bus: wifi worked only intermittently but driver was nice to call out ETA to various stations near Edmonton ; Edmonton to Calgary Bus: wifi didnt work and driver as well as station was informed of the problem, but still they never reset or restarted the wifi connection to see if problem can be fixed, also driver didnt call out ETA to station near calgary so for first time bus rider it was hard to gauge exact arrival.
