Rider Express
Pros: I recently travelled on Rider Express, booked through Wanderu, from Golden to Calgary. The only reason for my 4 star rating instead of 5 stars was that the bus was one hour late arriving into Golden. It was necessary to change my date of travel after I had booked and the process on line was easy to do. But the trip was comfortable and quiet and the driver was friendly and helpful. I would use this service again. Tips: Charge your phone before you leave as the plug did not work.

City Information

Calgary

CACGY-0CACGY-1CACGY-2

Originally an outpost for the mounted police, Calgary has recently transformed into a commercial powerhouse and a top-tier destination for visitors of Canada. That said, the city’s rural traces are still quite prominent, making it a great spot for everyone. One of the most iconic destinations in the city is the WinSport Canada Olympic Park, which is a tribute to the 1988 Winter Olympics. Interested travellers could take up ski lessons here, or they can simply stroll around Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, which houses the largest collection in the competition’s history. Another great destination you should check out is the Glenbow Museum, which features amazing collections on the First Nations as well as military memorabilia. If you simply want to stroll around and enjoy a good view, Prince's Island Park, with tree-lined trails, will also be a great choice.

Its nickname Cowtown is true: Alberta beef is the staple local specialty. If you are looking for a bite of this amazing delicacy, head over to Silver Inn Restaurant. Another great local favourite is cheese buns from Glamorgan Bakery, which sells out quite quickly.

The main coach station in Calgary is the Downtown Greyhound Station located at 850 16 St SW. It is served by several leading coach carriers, including Greyhound, Cold Shot, Ebus, Rider Express and Red Arrow. The city currently does not have a dedicated intercity rail service. The city’s main airport is the Calgary International Airport, which is located northeast of the city itself.
