Good service - Don’t trust their discounts

The big bus service was good, the bus was clean. The app works well. It could use some enchantments for find restaurants near stops. The only issue we had was that they said they would give us a discount for tickets to the Capilano suspension bridge. I checked before I purchased from them and their price was actually higher than the attraction price online and at the gate. Make sure you check the prices before you buy from them.
