Rider Express Calgary Lloydminster recent customer reviews

I missed your bus because your Calgary address downtown 200 4 Ave SE station GPS could not/can't recognize it. I along with the UBER driver did not find it (200) on 4 Ave. I'm a new comer in Calgary. I lost $37 + $37 for Uber and $100/ for missing the bus. And I wasted my time total about two hours.I am very frustrated because of that
