Red Arrow User Reviews
Red Arrow receives praise for its safe drivers and punctual arrivals, as noted by several users. However, there are some areas of concern mentioned across reviews. Customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of USB ports and unreliable Wi-Fi service during trips. Additionally, issues such as unpleasant bathroom odors and unexpected ticket price increases were highlighted by passengers seeking a more comfortable travel experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip yesterday to Kelowna from Vancouver. Customer service was excellent, from the staff checking us in to the courteous drivers. I can’t think of anything that needed to be improved. The seats were comfy, wifi was much appreciated, plus having a bathroom on board. Having coffee/tea/pop and cookies available was an added bonus! Our drivers were very personable, and I really appreciated Colin’s attention and concern for us passengers. The weather was kind of nasty, but he handled the road like a real pro. I will definitely use the bus service again!

The service itself was great, however, I had a bus booked for 0915. This bus was cancelled, yet I wasn't informed about this. I waited in freezing temperatures for an hour. I had to use a nearby hotel to call, and they informed me that my booking had changed to 1130. This would have been fine if I was informed, but I wasn't. They said they tried to call me and emailed me about the change. This didn't happen. What I would recommend, is having a Whatsapp contact as well. Because I am from overseas, my phone could only use the internet to keep contacted (I was using an esim). Instead on relying on phone contact/email to contact passengers, and this either doesn't work or could be missed. Sending a Whatsapp message to the passenger would be a lot better. And passengers could also contact the bus company using the app.
