11 May 2025- Solo travel

Banff to Calgary

Pros: We had a great service with a lovely driver from Fairy Bus, for a very good price. Tips: Booking through Wanderu saved us quite a lot of money for our service! We were unsure initially about whether the tickets would be processed due to the price difference but tickets were processed promptly and our service was valid. We had a small issue with the tickets when we booked them but the Wanderu customer support was extremely helpful and resolved the situation very quickly. Would recommend to other travellers, there are some great deal available!

Banff to Calgary

Pros: We had the best driver ever! We requested if he could drop us off within downtown area since there were unexpected delays in Ctransit. He didn't even hesitate and even offered to drop us off to the nearest train station in downtown which was very convenient for us! Cons: Communications channel maybe.

Pros: We were the only passengers in the shuttle so we felt like VIPs. The driver was also very relaxed driving. Cons: Everything was good! Maybe just improve the communications channel in case there were delays.

The Fairy Bus Coach Guide & FAQs

No, unfortunately The Fairy Bus does not offer WiFi aboard its coaches at this time.

Plan ahead and you will stay entertained during the entire coach ride.

The Fairy Bus does not offer power outlets on their coaches at this time. We suggest you charge up your laptop ahead of time and bring a power bank for your phone to extend its battery life for the duration of the trip. And remember - a good book doesn’t require any power.

Your thirst is a priority for The Fairy Bus, and to make sure you are never parched onboard their coach, they offer free bottles of water. Just remember - the only right thing to do at the end of your trip is to make sure every water bottle is placed in a recycle bin to reduce your impact on the environment.

The Fairy Bus does not require a printed ticket to board the coach. Instead, an eTicket is sent to you by email when you make your reservation. You can use your smartphone to show this eTicket to the ticketing agent as you board.
