About Cold Shot Bus
Cold Shot Bus is a network of buses that primarily operates in the Canadian province of Alberta. Cold Shot Bus provides service to 20 different city destinations, mainly connecting Edmonton with other towns in Alberta. In total, Cold Shot runs 323 routes, and its most popular is the Edmonton to Calgary route.
Using smaller 20-passenger shuttle buses, Cold Shot aims to keep prices low by filling every seat on every journey. These Cold Shot buses usually do not have onboard Wi-Fi or power outlets, allowing riders to absorb the incredible landscapes of Alberta instead. Passengers on longer journeys may find an onboard restroom, although this is not guaranteed.
