Comfortable

Like I said, it was very comfortable clean. The seats were so comfortable that I slept for an hour. It was a noisy, and the driver was very polite and kind.

Whether it was busbud themselves or the…

Whether it was busbud themselves or the staff team of the company my trip was delegated to, God only knows, but someone failed to put my name into the bus drivers manifest. This was only realised when the bus failed to arrive at the arranged location for an airport transfer, 40 minutes later I’d finally managed to convince the staff team this had occurred, who did then reroute a bus to collect me. Costing all other passengers including myself significant time and causing numerous people to arrive dangerously late for their airport transfer.

Phone staff never gave clear answers and tried to reassure me they would call me back with answers during the 40minute delay. Hotel staff claimed to me this was a regular occurrence for other customers using this company (it wasn’t one they recommended but I am cheap).

Wouldn’t recommend even for the savings.

Hello Joseph,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused during your recent trip from Canmore to Calgary. It’s disappointing to hear about the mix-up and the resulting delay that affected your journey.

As a marketplace, we strive to ensure a smooth travel experience, and it’s clear in this instance, we fell short. We appreciate your feedback and will work with the bus operator to address these issues.

We have contacted you privately to follow up on and resolve your case, as well as to provide you with personalized attention.

Warm regards,

AC worked well

AC worked well. I was able to charge my phone in the bus. The driver was awesome.
Seat rows are too close to each other. If you are a regular guy… you won’t fit in them.

My first train ride

My first train ride started excellent. Then at my first transfer there was an incorrect departure time that almost had me miss the shuttle. But after the correction the shuttle returned to get me.After that everything was excellent.
