The ride was fine but I went into two busses and both busses the outlets and the internet was not working. I chose rider express for the internet and for the power outlets to also not work for an 8 hour trip is ridiculous

I really enjoyed the bus ride. The seats were very comfortable, and the driver was very kind. If there had been more time during the break, the experience would have been even better.

Cold Shot Fort McMurray Calgary recent customer reviews

Fort McMurray to Edmonton bus was a bit older and outdated, rougher ride, wifi wasn't working, but the driver was helpful and friendly and arrived on time. The bus was much newer we transferred to from Edmonton to Calgary and much more comfy with wifi. Again the driver was kind and on time. Can't really complain. Better then paying $800 for a flight last minute. I'd take this again. Also, the Edmonton Cold Shot depot could be cleaned up/repaired as well. Minor renos/fixes would go a long way.

Over good customer service only thing I can say negative is the bus could use some rear struts lol used cold shot 3 times it's a low cost reliable option. Thanks!

Bus left Fort McMurray late. Arrived in Edmonton and the transfer bus I was taking to Calgary was long gone. Lady at terminal did hook us up with an alternate bus leaving 3 hours later and had me dropped at the stop in downtown Edmonton with no office or indoor place to wait. Sat on luggage downtown outside in a foreign city for 2 and a half hours in the snow. Not impressed.

Fort McMurray To Edmonton Bus: wifi worked only intermittently but driver was nice to call out ETA to various stations near Edmonton ; Edmonton to Calgary Bus: wifi didnt work and driver as well as station was informed of the problem, but still they never reset or restarted the wifi connection to see if problem can be fixed, also driver didnt call out ETA to station near calgary so for first time bus rider it was hard to gauge exact arrival.
