I enjoyed the later bus due to it not being packed. I disliked that it was a hour late, I understand the weather is bad and maybe I shouldn't even be complaining lol and some of the passengers were not mindful. Loud phone calls and brightness turned all the way up.

Easy way to travel! Driver was great, so easy to purchase a ticket and way more price friendly than paying $400 for a trip to Kelowna from Merritt by Uber.
