The Canada Bus

Pros: Great drivers, able to take in the scenery, surroundings and yes I will be doing this again. Different than what we use to have here for long trips (Greyhound) Stations, like these stops better. Tim's, Malls, ... . Cons: like the Canada Bus, heard about others and glad I was on board the Canada Bus, lead the way you are doing excellent. On the way to Edmonton wifi was working, on the way back no wifi, I answered yes. Tips: Travel with Canada Bus, they do not leave you behind, stranded, forgotten about.

The Canada Bus

Pros: It was my first bus trip in Alberta. We started from Calgary cross iron Mall gate number 2. The stuff was courteous and professional. The bus stopped at Red deer near Tims. One more stop at Edmonton international airport and we made to our destination at Southgate LRT station. Would recommend it to others as well. Cons: When we ask the bus stop if the bus would stop at Edmonton international airport he was not able to explain it clearly. Had I known the fact I would have called my wife to pick me up at airport and save 30 minutes. Tips: Please board and the board at the place closest to your destination.
