My seat mate was a larger woman and I didn’t have room … our bodies were touching the entire ride I had an aisle seat and I couldn’t get the arm rest up And wasn’t aware at the time of booking that I couldn’t select my seat

Renee K.

29 December 2025

Cancelled the bus and only notified folks 45 minutes later. Next bus filled up and people were left with the option to wait for 4pm, or book a different bus. Between my partner and I, we’ve had 9 trips with flixbus and 6 of those have had issues: broken down bus x2, late by over 15min x2, cancelled 1 and air conditioning broken 2x in middle of summer. I will not be booking with flixbus again

Dislikes: It was unclear when booking that we had 4 stops in Calgary. I wish I had known it was not direct. I thought I had chosen good seats but when I arrived I was in the back by the washroom. The stops took additional time for patrons and the driver to smoke. And we arrived 30 minutes late.

Good seats and leg room. I ddnt like that the driver dies not announce the stop so that all passengers alight there. Its hard for first time customers to calgary to know whether they have reached their destination.

Overall the trip was good, the bus was clean, comfortable, and a safe experience. The only thing I felt a little disappointed in was the "free wifi" being gate kept by the safety video, and in said video there was a stated "snack station" which was not available on our bus, probably because the video was from Red Arrow, which was just really confusing and disappointing.
