Rider Express Calgary Fort McMurray recent customer reviews
First bus was great, on time and comfortable perfect temperature everything, drivers were very nice updated clearly when and where we would be stopping next.
Second bus was 30 minutes late so we were waiting in the cold for 30 minutes and once on the bus it was very warm, and toasty. The driver wasn't very clear with the stops, when getting to fort mcmurray I listened to the people talking and they were confused what the first stop was because the driver literally just said first stop fort mcmurray and second stop downtown. Very rushed and not very easy to talk to l.

Cold Shot Calgary Fort McMurray recent customer reviews
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.

The bus was very old and only had 2 working USB ports as the sources of power to charge phones for the entire 8 hours. The bus also arrived at the first stop of Fort McMurray at 7am instead of 6am.
