The original bus was late so a second bus was sent to pick us up, the drivers were friendly and didn't waste time. Most importantly we arrived safely at our destination and on time.

Bus driver was driving erratically. Going over the center lane and continously driving on the rumble strip. Driver was from Calgary to Vancouver on December 26th to December 27th..my suitcase never showed up at kamloops even though we never transfered budes.

The routes were well announced, and the driver was courteous. A passenger got on the bus in Red Deer, already intoxicated. A while later he was snoring loudly and was unable to be woken. He had a bottle of liquor on him in plain view. An ambulance was dispatched to take him away. I recommend naloxone to be carried on the bus.
