It was impos ... Waited for >1.5 hours at the bus stop for the bus to never show up. Granted, there was a lot of snow coning down. But to not notify your passengers that you are not coming is outrageous. It was impossible to get through to the company as well. I tried calling multiple times and it only went through to voicemail. They never responded to my email, a message I left via their chatbot, or a DM on Instagram. Now, they’ve informed me that a refund isn’t possible and gave me various excuses. They will only offer me an open bus ticket that can only be used within a month. Even if I lived in Canada (which I do not!), why would I ever want to book through this shoddy company again? Don’t do it! Rider Express and EBus are so, so, so much better.

He said lots of seats available for the 10:15AM bus. Asked if I wanted to buy a ticket and I replied I would get one at the south edmonton office prior to boarding. He said fine just try to get there by 9:45 which I did. Now the bad news: She wanted $75.84 for the original $25 or so fare because it was a "last minute purchase". I was left stranded so not much else I could do so I paid. What a ripoff scenerio! I had never taken Ebus before and will probably never again. I guess book ahead is the rule here.
