I had the same driver and bus going to Edmonton and back to Calgary. And both ways there was no toilet paper or hand sanitizer, when I had told the driver, he told me they had forgotten to replenish it and wouldn't be a problem on the next bus. He did not inform anyone of how long we were stopping in red deer and had let one passenger grab coffee while he went to the bathroom and had told the the rest of us we were leaving right away. Giving us no time to get anything.
