Comfortable, for rhe most part quiet, the driver backed up my wish to ask another passenger to stop contnually talking on his phone, two seats behind me. Solid driving through the mountains and extremely busy traffic leaving Vancouver.

I enjoyed the view and was nice to take a break from driving . What I didn’t enjoy was being told last minute that my trip was over at the airport . The bus driver was kind enough to offer us a ride into town but I declined the offer . I have been travelling on the bus for years and this was by far the worst experience on the bus that I have ever had . Disorganization +++

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip yesterday to Kelowna from Vancouver. Customer service was excellent, from the staff checking us in to the courteous drivers. I can’t think of anything that needed to be improved. The seats were comfy, wifi was much appreciated, plus having a bathroom on board. Having coffee/tea/pop and cookies available was an added bonus! Our drivers were very personable, and I really appreciated Colin’s attention and concern for us passengers. The weather was kind of nasty, but he handled the road like a real pro. I will definitely use the bus service again!
