Clean bus, professional driver all good! Not good...no power to charge phone, couldn't find Wifi also. I was only going to Canmore from Calgary. I would have been really upset if I was going to Vancouver like the rest of the bus!

EBus was good. only boarding a bus was not that good. They should simply scan ticket barcode instead of asking each one for ID.

love that there’s a warm indoor place to wait downtown, with chairs and washrooms. And this bus is faster too, because it doesn’t have those extra NW stops

On-It Calgary Canmore recent customer reviews

Firstly, I would say, it's a great facility that saves tourists from the hassles of driving long routes, finding parking for day or days. Secondly, it's a great option to sit back, enjoy and watch beautiful side veiws. On- it provides an opportunity to people to not postpone their adventures just because they don't have their own modes of transportation. It was wonderful experience of mine going with on-it to canmore. Bus dropped me on time on a designated spot and guided me to be back on the same spot at the assigned time of departure. It was nice traveling through on- it, and I will soon plan another trip to Banff through the same service

Red Arrow Calgary Canmore recent customer reviews

Comfort, drinks, wish gluten free and vegan snacks. Toilet stunk and light did not turn on. On return trip Canmore to Calgary a vehicle cut off bus and almost hit bus so driver honked. He was a funny driver. Canmore the hotel where bus picks up and took me to Calgary does not have a public toilet and I was happy Red Arrow did. Andrea.
