No refund.

Won’t used again. They postponed one leg of the trip by an hour. Promised a full refund and then only paid half back. Better more honest companies to use

It was ok until Barnstaple.

It was ok until Barnstaple but then a woman sat near the driver chatting loudly. The bus then took a very circuitous route to Bideford, dropping her off beside the road near to some houses. He then continued on to Bideford taking twice as long. The main roads 20 mins. his route 40 mins. Unacceptable!

Great experience, stuff was very friendly .

I had a very pleasant experience traveling with the e-bus service. The bus was clean, comfortable, and arrived on time. The driver was professional, friendly, and ensured a safe journey throughout the trip. I also appreciated the smooth booking process and the comfortable seating arrangement. Overall, the service was reliable and well-managed. I would definitely recommend this e-bus service to others and look forward to traveling with them again.

Incredible journey from Edmonton to Calgary plus the weather was so nice. It was not too hot or cold, just cloudy and pouring a little bit.
The driver was very polite and extremely professional. Great driving skills. I don’t know his name but give him raise. He did morning shift on 13th may.

Swiss bus 15 had couche operators who were friendly and quite professional in their conduct

The couche operators were friendly, gave us quite detailed information about the travel, especially border crossing processes. The seats are comfortable and the stoppages were adequate for recesses.

I had a lengthy,10 hour, trip from Grande Prairie to Calgary. The busses are new and very clean. Leather seats, Wifi, charging ports were really nice. There are no washrooms but they make hourly stops along the route
