Cold Shot User Reviews

Cold Shot User Reviews

Cold Shot receives praise for its punctuality, courteous drivers, and reasonable prices. However, several reviews mention issues with the heating system on buses and discomfort due to crowded or cramped seating. Additionally, some customers experienced poor management at depots regarding bus announcements and encountered unpleasant situations involving other passengers.

On time service. Great driver.

The bus was 40 min late and the driver kept cutting other drivers off
Val N.June 29, 2024
The ride from Edmonton to Grande Prairie was cold. The driver was careless when unloading our luggage. However the ride from Grande Prairie to Fort St. John was exceptional, every bus driver should be like her. Overall I'm disappointed in the fact that the service from Edmonton to FSJ has been cut down to 2 days a week.
