Rider Express Balzac Fort McMurray recent customer reviews
The bus ride was good, the only thing that would a great add on would be a depot in Edmonton. I travelled from Calgary to fort McMurray on November 12,25 and had to do a 4 hour lay over in Edmonton which I spent at a bus shelter in Edmonton. ( not cool) That maybe something to look in to. Also need to run a earlier bus to fort McMurray
