Easy way to travel! Driver was great, so easy to purchase a ticket and way more price friendly than paying $400 for a trip to Kelowna from Merritt by Uber.

I usually enjoy my trips on the e-bus and I certainly have no issues with their policies but my trip home was a disaster and I was embarrassed and humiliated by a staff member I don’t hold the e-bus accountable for this experience but I hope to god I never have to deal with this particular woman again I plan to write a letter to the office in Calgary
