I did not enjoy the Trip from Edmonton to Grande Prairie Ab. I was a glorified bread truck. Very rough ride and far too hot interior. I wish Grey hound was back.

Bus was clean - in and out. Driver was courteous. As a hard-of-hearing passenger I would benefitted if the driver’s voice had been amplified by using a public address system.

Seats were comfortable and I had more space than an airplane. Stops for bathroom break and snacks were quick but sufficient time for all to be accommodated.

Rider Express Red Deer Grande Prairie recent customer reviews

Nice roomy bus. Good to have a washroom. Didn't like the Southgate or downtown option. Why not just have 1 pick up place. I assume standing outside for 10 or 15 minutes when its -40 and the wind is blowing would be very uncomfortable. The bus drivers were professional...both of them.

Good. Very helpful workers making sure we got on the correct bus. Very nice stops so that we could get snacks and food and stuff. Seats are the normal set of uncomfortable bus seats but at least they could recline. Nice reading lights.
