The Canada Bus
Pros: I like that the bus stops at Cross Iron Mall close to Airdrie AB. I liked that the driver let me have the seat for people with a disability because it was clear that I have an issue. Cons: I would like to be able to book the seat for people with a disability when I book online instead of being assigned a seat and hoping the driver will give me that seat. Tips: I would advise others that your prices are fair.
