Rider Express

Pros: The cost as well as the WiFi and charging ports Cons: The seats could be more comfortable, possibly even recline. Having the bus leave on time as being 2 hours late changes plans a lot Tips: Bringing your snacks, stopping for gas stations is stupidly expensive

Rider Express

Pros: The people on the bus were bus people. Everyone followed the bus rules (being on time, using their ear buds while on electronic devices, putting their tras in the provide garbage bags and emptying them in the bigger trash when on a stop. There were nice stops where you get off the bus to stretch your legs go to the public washrooms and pick up a cold/hot drink and snacks. Cons: The drink holder was nice but a bit too shallow, not quite big enough for some travel mugs and some were missing. Tips: Bring a lunch, drinks and snacks as the stops are not long enough to order food. Especially if you are on the longer trip. The over head bins will fit an item that would fit under the air line seat but not some big that you would put in the airline overhead bins. Be mindful of others and clean up your trash, use your ear buds/headphones. Remember that this is not an airplane.

City Information

Calgary

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 travelers 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 favorite is cheese buns from Glamorgan Bakery, which sells out quite quickly.
