I am a visitor for the first time in Canada.
- The bus was delayed by around 20 minutes to leave Calgary and 45 minutes to reach Edmonton.
- There was no wifi on the bus which prevented me from getting/providing updates from/to the person waiting for me.
- There were passengers talking loudly for the whole duration of the trip.
- The tracker wasn't working.
- The number of the bus was different than what is showing on the ticket which prevented knowing it arrived.

The bus was very clean and comfortable; however, I found the reflections caused by the tinted windows very disconcerting. It may have been the result of the overcast day which may have been worse but not completely. The only way to eliminate it was by turning your head 90 degrees to look straight out which was very uncomfortable. I get motion sickness if I read in a moving vehicle so window gazing is very important to me. I was in the small bus.
