FlixBus Red Deer Calgary recent customer reviews
Driver was great. The only way it could be improved would be a drop off a bit closer to the international terminal.
5 out of 5 stars
Sharon F.
I was given incorrect pins and vague directions on my confirmation email and it made me miss my bus and have to purchase another ticket. This is not the first time with FlixBus that this was the case. Having incorrect addresses and having to research vague FlixBus stops (from google) is the same in Edmonton. If the buses were early we could find them, but instead they arrive sharp and leave fast.

Users consistently praise the friendly and professional staff, as well as the comfortable and clean buses.

The Canada Bus Red Deer Calgary recent customer reviews
We waited at the spot we were told to at the Tim Hortons on 77th St. .The bus was supposed to arrive at 5:45. No bus -at 6:20 a bus arrived -by that time we were wondering what we were going to do because there was no one to phone and see if there was a delay on our bus. We had a flight to catch at the Calgary airport and it was very distressing to the three of us
I think when there is a delay like that, there should be a number that we can call and find out what the delay is. Also not having a place to wait while your bus is arriving is very inconvenient. Standing outside in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons is not very nice.
Would I take your bus again -no
The driver was polite and a good driver.

There was no update on the late arrival of the bus eventually we found a number to call and was informed that it was still on its way… being almost an hour late they then wanted me to load our own suitcases in the under storage area which then had a knock on effect at the time it arrived at the airport being it should of arrived at 19.10 … it then dropped us at the local departures which when I eventually got to my international departure area they had closed the gate and would not let me drop my bag, so I then had to put my bag in a secure bag drop area for my daughter to collect within 24 hours for me to run to my gate this was the worst bus company I have ever booked with and I have booked every time with red arrow and eBus I will never book with Canada bus again.

Tracey S.
The bus driver was very helpful and kind. However I would like to have had a seat with a foot rest. At my age (78) I need to elevate my legs as much as possible and the front seat he gave me had none. I had a seat with a foot rest booked with my ticket but I did not get it. A small thing that would have made my trip so much better.
The reviews highlight a positive experience with the bus service, emphasizing friendly and professional drivers, clean buses, and efficient travel. Many users appreciated the affordable pricing and convenient locations for pick-up and drop-off. While some noted minor delays in arrival times or issues like lack of air conditioning on certain trips, these did not overshadow the overall satisfaction expressed by passengers who found their journeys enjoyable and would recommend or use this service again.

Bus was on time, the driver was very polite and kind to us customers and it was an easy experience something I never experienced before with other buses

Denzil F.
Passengers were allowed to take big items onto the bus rather than in the lower compartment. The bus was only just over half full but most people kept items on the seats leaving very little space.
