Rider Express Canmore Red Deer recent customer reviews

We received an email and phone call a few weeks ago stating that our 6:20 bus was now coming 5:20. A group of us showed up at 5am, and the bus didn't end up coming till 620. I don't know if you've seen the location where they pick up in Canmore but there is no cover from the elements. Not impressed.
