Calgary to Edmonton

Cons: The driver was a really bad driver. Always pushing the break and then the gas and the break. This was a really shaky ride. I was nauseous the whole time, even on the highway as he was pushing the breaks for no reason. There was definitely something wrong with the bus suspension as it was shaking a lot. The driver did not respect the 5 minutes break time in Red Deer and forgot a passenger. Tips: Make sure you don’t get out of the bus during break because they won’t wait for you even if we are still suppose to be in break time.
