FlixBus Red Deer Calgary recent customer reviews
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.

Byron A.
It was a great trip to Calgary international airport. Driver was awesome and took the normal hours despite of snowy slippery conditions.
5 out of 5 stars
Rafaela J.
My journey was fine the only problem was that my journey was only made necessary because the driver of the previous bus refused to wait for two extra minutes for my husband’s glasses to be delivered to him. I had to take them with me and book the next available bus to Calgary in order to give them to him before his flight takes off. So, mixed feelings on this one.
Users consistently appreciate the friendly and professional staff, as well as the comfortable and clean buses. Many reviews highlight a smooth booking process and positive travel experiences.

The Canada Bus Red Deer Calgary recent customer reviews
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.

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.
