Kamloops to Vancouver

I travelled with the bus from Kamloops to Vancouver on Friday Nov 22. The bus left right on time at 6.40am. The roads were not great but the driver drove very well and was very professional, friendly and communicated well all through the ride. The bus was clean and the price is unbelievable. I had to email them after I bought my ticket and I was surprised that they responded right away. Excellent service

Calgary - Westbrook Mall to Golden

The driver was courteous and professional and he informed us ahead of time where we’ll be stopping and how long we had. He also gave us suggestions where to eat and not to follow a particular clock because it runs late. The seat in the bus was “newer” and comfortable. Thanks for a delightful ride.

Canmore to Kamloops

The experience was excellent; more specifically: the bus was clean, temperature was spot on, the passengers were well controlled, no loud mouths, etc, Sam the driver demonstrated superior driving skills and his ability to keep the passengers informed regarding stops to maintain his schedule. I will continue to chose Rider over driving my own vehicle whenever possible.

I’ve been using Rider Express ever since i’ve arrived Canada, I travelled from Golden to Calgary and I can say my experience was exceptional! Drivers are polite , kind and helpful, journey was smooth, depart and arrived on time. Check In and identification process are excellent! Bus is clean, tidy and always on right temperature condition. I will always choose Rider Express whenever I traveled to Calgary - Golden, and in the future I would love to travel to Vancouver and Edmonton. 😊

Golden to Salmon Arm

I had a very enjoyable, stress-free trip. I felt confident in the driver's skills and he was very thorough and explained our transfer in Salmon Arm very simply and he did this several times to make sure no one was on the wrong bus. The bus was spacious and clean. I would recommend this way to travel. It was somewhat more expensive than I thought it would be. If the expense came down I would travel to Golden more frequently.

I have not used the bus since Greyhound quit going from Calgary to Vernon. I was very impressed with how the driver handled the trip and the changeover in Salmon arm. He was very clear with all the instructions and how much time we had at each point and who was allowed to get off. The bus was reasonably comfortable. I really appreciated the fact that he made sure that everybody had a seat because that was often poorly done by Greyhound. So I really appreciate the service and I may use it again because it’s a lot cheaper than flying.

He is very good with his client relations, and keep it up. But maybe in the future you might need to introduce loyalty rewards for your regular customers. Other than that, you guys are professional, and I would recommend you anytime.

A very good experience for the most part. The driver was courteous and helpful and so was the desk clerk. The price was a bargain. The bus seats could have been cleaner. I had to put plastic on mine to seat on it. The time schedule was excellent. Could the buses be fitted with better shock absorbers (??) Or whatever is necessary to stop then from bumping us around?

My trip was just fine. I felt safe with the bus driver Wayne who managed the passengers well in spite of one fellow who got off the bus at a stop were he shouldn’t have which meant the bus driver had to find him thereby delaying departure. My only problem is that I am short and the seats do not fit me very well so not as comfortable because the head rest is above where my head is. I would take a pillow or neck ring on a future trip as I realize you can’t do much about that.

I am very impressed see with the Rider bus service. I got a bus from Sorento this morning at 5am to Vancouver international airport. The driver was great, he was polite professional, with a kind heart and he was very cheerful and humble. He had a good deminer. Very helpful to all specially seniors. I had to ask his name as he is one of the best I have come across. He was and polite so am writing this note to say well done Ron and well done Rider Bus service I am impressed.

The trip from Calgary to Banff on Rider Express was delightful. The bus was very new and the seats were incredibly comfortable. There was more leg room on this bus then the previous two buses on the other two legs of my trip (Saskatoon to Edmonton, and Edmonton to Calgary). The bus driver was terrific. He kept everyone in the loop and made sure we all knew which stop was coming up for which destinations. I had a great trip and I would do it again. Thank you Rider Express.

I have to mention your driver Ron who drives every morning from Kamloops to Vancouver and back, his service and dedication to his work as well as clients is outstanding.

Over all a great trip with terrific scenery. Bus clean and comfortable. Company should find a better place to stop at Kamloops,where drivers were changed! A grimy gas station with no facilities? Kamloops is a big place with many other options. After 8 hrs on the road passengers deserve a better place and company should be able to provide someplace decent.

First time on this bus line. Picked up on time, arrived alittle early at destination, happy about that. If I had one item to mention, it’s that on the other bus line, the drivers always make a firm sounding announcement after each pick-up stop regarding; no smoking, vaping, alcohol, playing any device with sound on(earplugs only) phone calls must be quiet. These are all appreciated because it’s extremely annoying having to listen to someone’s phone conversation, movie, E-book or video game. Also a mention of seatbelts is important. These announcements make the passengers feel like the driver is in charge and he won’t accept any nonsense on his bus. It was a good first experience and I also appreciated a small break on the price from the other bus line. A seniors discount might be an excellent way to of increasing ridership. Thanks again

The driver is always great- however, some of the passengers could use some work. Maybe need more reminders about not yacking on the phone the entire time, and using headphones when watching videos/listening to music. I experience this most times I'm on the bus and wish the driver would do a little more to enforce bus etiquette.

Trip Date: 2024-09-02 06:40 am

Calgary - Marlborough Mall to Canmore

Hi, the ride was great. The driver was excellent. I love how he told people to be considerate of others and not talk on their phone or use headphones for media!!!!. The inability to get a "receipt" is frustrating. Your ticket does not have the price on it so I can't use that. Your transaction summary does not have your company name on it nor does it identify what it is for. Getting an itemized receipt from a company should not be an ordeal...I have to print out the email you send to me on paper then I have to scan it and email it to myself as a pdf so that I can submit it to my company. Hence the 3 out of 5. Otherwise 5 out of 5 (but you are a lot more expensive than the alternative, hint hint)

Trip Date: 2024-09-20 07:55 am

Calgary - Westbrook Mall to Vancouver

I've taken the Calgary to Vancouver bus several times now, so I'm generally pleased with the service. My suggestion involves meal breaks. The first break at the Golden Husky is always great! That location is well stocked with good lunch options. The second break is less predictable (usually Kamloops but this time Hope) and is, well, another gas station. But this time the food options are Very Limited. Please have the second meal break at a location that offers good hot food options, and please make the break 30+ minutes. This will give tired travelers time to stretch their legs and enjoy their meal. I think this would improve the overall travel experience. Thanks, Kenny

I think it will be helpful to have a digital stop watch for the number of minutes for the break. For example 15 minutes break starts with 15 and counting to zero. Yesterday a young couple was last to come bach after nearly every break. Yesterday there was a digital watch with very good display that may already have this option.

This trip was really very good. The only problem was that we were running late (nothing that was the fault of Riders Express, I believe it was a road closure), so our break locations were adjusted. However, the driver on the leg from Kamloops to Surrey tried hard to make up the time, and we ended up just a bit late. We had a break at Hope, which was not even a scheduled stop as nobody was getting on or off, and that seemed a strange move. Kamloops is better situated for getting something to eat, and it was a better time to be purchasing food. However, the best was made of it.

Banff to Vancouver

I had a overall good experience. Just wanted to take the time to comment on the incident between one of the customers and the first driver. Went I got on at Banff, the customer in question was late back to the bus which was already behind schedule. The impression I got was the bus driver said to only get some fresh air and go to the toilet but the customer went to Tim hortons delaying everyone. Once back on the bus, the bus driver asked everyone to only do as instructed and to be back to the bus on time. The customer turned this comment into a spectacle apologising to everyone. However overtime she began to turn petty over this incident. As I was sitting behind her I saw her texting people talking about wanting to throat punch the driver and she continually flipped him off. At the stop in Golden, when the customer got back on the bus she started taking photos and videoing talking about how she was back on before the time limit and look at all my witnesses. When another customer ended up being late back to the bus, she went up to them to see if they had been told off by the bus driver. Then she started to rave when the bus driver came back later to the bus then the time limit that was set for the customers. At revelstoke when told that we can't get off. She started yelling at everyone saying to 'not get off or he'll leave you behind' constantly over and over again. I missed what happened between the bus driver and the customer at her final stop in Salmon arm but overall I didn't get the impression that the bus driver had done anything bad. Rather she had taken the early comments personally and began to overreact and act petty about the whole situation ruining everyone else's experience.

Hi It was nice experience but please if you can find other spot in Salmon Arm as washroom was fully booked and least options for food. Atleast, Tell the passengers to bring their own food as we can only buy quickly beverages while journey. Otherwise Driver was good 😊

The bus was 30 minutes late leaving Calgary and we've lost more time over the uneventful trip. I had 45 minutes between connections in Chilliwack which should've been ample, but it looks like I'll be late. Fortunately, the other firm that I'm connecting to, to take me the rest of the way into Surrey, is having and even worse day and they're running 2 hours late. Lucky me!

The original bus was full but Rider express handled it really well compared to the other bus company. Rider express prepared another bus for the passengers and checked in everyone thoroughly. Though the other bus was old and didn’t have outlets and cup holders, i am very impressed by Rider express and how they considered the passengers well. Absolutely love this company. Highly recommended

The trip from Calgary to Vancouver was pleasant enough considering it was a round 14 hrs to the Vancouver airport. Nice scenery along the way. The only grip I have is maybe the company needs to have in there website that passengers should all have earphones/buds for there phones/laptops. Nothing worse to ruin a nice quiet trip than having someone playing video games/watching soap operas/screaming kids doing whatever. Maybe even have the driver make an announcement during the trip. Other than that the drivers were great.

The bus seats were not as comfortable as they look but the bus was clean and very nice inside, worthy of extra special mention was the driver who was a little bit short in his replies but what an excellent driver very smooth comfortable ride. The number one issue I have and I don't understand why it can't be accommodated into your system in some way and that is that I have a small dog my vehicle broke down nearby golden BC but I was going to Calgary this was the reason for using the bus, I was forced to put my dog in a kennel for one day which was very expensive and very difficult to do since I didn't have a vehicle. There are certain circumstances where exceptions to rules should be made and this is certainly one of them He's a tiny little dog he would have rode all my lap the whole way in any event I hope that there are future plans to accommodate at least a small animals . I hope that you will pass my comments on to the driver I did mention it also when I got off the bus to him I did mention it also when I got off the bus to him

Salmon Arm to Chilliwack

I’m a loyal Rider Express passenger. I wish the drivers would remind people to use their seat belts on each leg of the route. I realize the following is easier to enforce - single passengers leave their belongings on both seats when arriving at the next stop; this makes it very difficult for new passengers to find an available seat.

Lake Louise to Vancouver

Firstly, a big shout out to both drivers who were excellent drivers and communicators, and both very personable 5/5 for them. The bus was clean and comfortable. I found the fare very expensive, and also disappointed that there was not a seniors discount. It certainly stretched my budget to the max. My other disappointment was not being able to book a preferred seat (window) even though booking early. It was a one-time trip for me being from Australia, and when I got on at Lake Louise all window seats were taken, and nearly all passengers had their bags on the seat next to them.

Revelstoke to Kamloops

Our son, who has Down syndrome, takes the bus from Kamloops to Revelstoke, and/or Revelstoke to Kamloops when he comes home to visit. We state on his ticket that he has Down syndrome, and prefers to sit near the front for his safety. Every time he (and sometimes his wife who uses a wheelchair) takes the bus, the bus drivers have been very accommodating with making sure that he gets a front row seat. The drivers are super nice and helpful, caring and kind. The bus is easy to track on the ticket, and are usually right on time. Today, we even got a notice on email that the bus was going to be 15 minutes late. We are so impressed with the service, the schedule (which is very convenient), and that the buses are very reliable and on time. We feel very confident in our son taking the bus and getting to his destination safely, comfortably and on time. Thank you so much for providing this essential service for our son so he can visit us independently without needing us to give him a ride. Sincerely, Wenche & Terry

Dear Rider-Express Team, the trip was a little bit late, but that ist totally fine. The drivers were very friendly even when the micropohne was making horrible noises. What was really anoying though, is that the Wifi was so bad that i could not check in for my flight or purchase a connecting busticket. This made my traveling after my arrival in Vancouver a lot harder than it had to be. All the best C. Franke

Revelstoke to Vancouver

The bus was 40 min late and I received a useless notification at the exact time of planned departure indicating it would be 20 min late (it was actually twice as long), the previous stop was 150 km away, so surely they could have sent the notification earlier so we could have waited to arrive at the stop instead of standing outside for an hour waiting. We were nearly 2 hours late arriving at the final destination and the driver didn't apologize or explain why we're were late, or even notify passengers so they could tell their pickup people to plan to be there at 11pm instead of 9pm, yet they swapped out the driver because he was timing out, which seemed disrespectful to the passengers. When he announced our arrival at the Abbotsford airport stop, which was 1.5 hours late, he wished those getting off a nice evening, rather than acknowledging how late they were arriving or apologizing for potential missed flights. Despite being way way behind schedule, the driver continued to stop and give passengers breaks. The bus was completely full, not a single spare seat. People were very noisy having annoying conversations the entire way, I couldn't focus enough to read sure to the noise (and I'm not old!). The bathroom door didn't always close properly.

I was on the bus that broke down just out of Chase BC during this incident the driver Wayne was very Professional and passionate with the passengers. The bus had stalled out three times as he tried to continue the trip. Each time Wayne was trying to trouble shoot the issue The driver finally found a safe spot on the highway to let the passengers off the bus for some fresh air as the air conditioner was not working. During all the stops he was very informative and apologetic with us even though he was I’m sure under great stress himself. He finally informed us that if he continued driving the bus at a very slow pace he could get us to a truck stop where we were going to meet a rescue bus. He also said this way we’d save time if the rescue bus had to backtrack and we could relax and get coffee ect. He was even able to provide the time it would take us, 4 1/2 minutes per kilometre, (I enjoyed that moment of his calculation). My overall opinion of this trip? Wayne was very professional, kind, apologetic and understanding of his passengers. Wayne handled a stressful situation in a appreciated manner for me that was clearly not under his control Big thank you to Wayne and his support of the Ryder Express technical supporter’s he was on the Phone with. All though I was five hours late getting home I will always use Ryder Express for my monthly trips to work and home.
