Cold Shot Edmonton Athabasca recent customer reviews
The trip fare to athabasca is the same price to Fort Mac, why? last time it was not like that.
Jerome L.
The buses were about on time and clean enough. I give the rating of three stars for a few reasons including odd middle of the night only availability, small seats, and somewhat poor management at the depot of announcing bus arrivals to those waiting. I witnessed several people miss buses because of this.
Joanne M.
I’ve used ColdShot a few times a month and have always been extremely happy. Busses are always clean, great high back seats, bud is always on time or early. Staff are always courteous and friendly. I’ll continue using ColdShot.
