The people on the bus were very loud, non stop talking no respect for others that wanted to rest and have peace and quiet. Very over crowded ,The bus was also an hour and a half late. Standing outside in the winter months not so much fun.

Jamie C.
Buses arrived on time, buses are very comfortable seats recline and are cushioned, washroom clean and stocked, customer service rep at Westbrook and drivers going to Edmonton and Fort mcmurray were friendly and advised customer of stops. The transfer location at Edmonton drop off the ground completely icy and it being a 1/2 hour wait for next bus, there wasn’t anywhere close to get a meal and rest. Maybe stop can be in a plaza instead everyone waiting outside in cold.

Henok S.
My trip to Fort McMurray was extremely unsatisfactory. Unfortunately, we were involved in an accident near Fort McMurray, which made the entire experience very stressful and traumatic for me. Although I did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, I am experiencing very severe pain. Due to this pain, I am not even able to walk properly, and I am unable to continue my work at this time.
This incident has affected me physically and emotionally. Overall, it was a very bad experience, and because of this, I will definitely not choose this service again in the future.
