Red Arrow Calgary Grande Prairie recent customer reviews

Honestly, the driver of the first bus should be fired, because he was absolutely terrible. Always driving on the rumble strips in either lane, quick and dangerous lane changes, and overall a very poor driver, but the lady driver on the second leg of the trip from Edmonton to Grande Prairie was excellent and should be treated as such (I hope she is)

It was clean, great help with any questions. On time. When a tree fell across the road we went to grab a coffee at Tim Horton instead of sitting on the road. Everyone cheered and the next stop was shorter so lost no time. It was quiet. Could sleep read or play games on phone

It was a good trip. Busses are a little run down, and plug inside instead of usb sockets would be nice.
