Terms & Conditions
Last updated: May 18, 2026
Falcon Transportation Solutions Ltd. operates its passenger transportation services under the name “Falcon Bus.” In these Terms & Conditions, “Falcon,” “Falcon Bus,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refers to Falcon Transportation Solutions Ltd.
These Terms & Conditions apply to passengers who use Falcon’s website, booking system, tickets, vehicles, passenger services, customer communications, and transportation services.
By purchasing a ticket, booking a ride, using a Falcon ticket, boarding a Falcon vehicle, or using Falcon services, you agree to these Terms & Conditions, our Refund & Cancellation Policy, and our Privacy Policy.
Important: Falcon scheduled passenger tickets are final sale. Unless Falcon cancels a trip for operational, safety, vehicle, weather, road, or company-related reasons, tickets are non-refundable, non-changeable, and non-transferable.
1. Contract and Ticket Validity
By purchasing a ticket, the customer enters into a transportation contract with Falcon Transportation Solutions Ltd.
Tickets are valid only for the specific date, departure time, route, pickup location, drop-off location, passenger, and seat selection chosen at the time of purchase.
Customers are responsible for reviewing all booking details before completing payment, including passenger name, travel date, route, pickup stop, drop-off stop, time, seat, and contact information.
Booking confirmations, ticket details, QR codes, receipts, service notices, and travel information may be sent by email, website, customer account, app, SMS, or other communication methods used by Falcon.
2. Final Sale Tickets
All scheduled passenger tickets are:
- Non-refundable
- Non-changeable
- Non-transferable
- Valid only for the selected trip
Falcon operates scheduled passenger transportation with limited vehicle capacity and assigned seats. When a passenger purchases a ticket, that seat is reserved for the selected trip and may no longer be available to other customers.
Because each vehicle has limited seats and trips are planned based on confirmed bookings, cancellations, missed trips, late changes, incorrect selections, or last-minute requests can prevent Falcon from reselling that seat or operating efficiently.
For this reason, tickets are final sale unless Falcon cancels the trip for operational or safety reasons, Falcon approves a rare discretionary exception, or a refund is required by law.
3. Falcon Trip Cancellations
If Falcon cancels a trip for operational, safety, vehicle, staffing, weather, road, or company-related reasons, affected passengers may be offered a full refund, a free transfer to the next available Falcon service, or both options where practical, subject to seat availability and operational circumstances.
This includes situations where Falcon determines that the trip cannot safely or reasonably operate because of unsafe weather, road closures, road conditions, vehicle issues, staffing limitations, safety concerns, or other operational reasons.
Falcon is not responsible for additional costs caused by a trip cancellation, including hotel costs, taxi or rideshare costs, missed appointments, missed work, missed connections, lost wages, or other indirect or consequential losses.
4. Customer Cancellations, Changes, and No-Shows
If a customer chooses not to travel, cannot attend, changes plans, books the wrong trip, arrives late, misses the departure, or no longer needs the service, the ticket remains final sale.
Passengers should arrive at the designated pickup location at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Falcon vehicles cannot wait for late passengers. If a passenger is not present, not ready to board, or fails to board before departure, the passenger will be treated as a no-show.
No-shows are not eligible for refunds, credits, transfers, rescheduling, or alternative transportation.
Falcon may review change, transfer, or exception requests made before departure in rare situations. Approval is not guaranteed and is entirely discretionary.
5. Payment, Fraud Prevention, and Chargebacks
Tickets must be paid in full at the time of purchase using an authorized payment method.
Falcon may use WooCommerce, WooPayments, Clover, and related payment or checkout service providers to process payments.
If a ticket is purchased using a fraudulent, stolen, unauthorized, disputed, or reversed payment method, Falcon may cancel the ticket without refund, deny boarding, refuse future bookings, and take appropriate legal or operational action.
Customers remain responsible for chargebacks, reversed payments, payment disputes, and related costs caused by unauthorized or improper payment activity.
6. Prohibited Booking Practices
The following booking practices are prohibited:
- Creating false, duplicate, fake, or illogical reservations
- Using another person’s identity, email, phone number, ticket, QR code, or payment method without permission
- Booking travel without the genuine intention to complete the journey
- Attempting to bypass seat limits, ticket rules, payment rules, or passenger rules
- Sharing, copying, selling, transferring, or misusing a ticket or QR code
Violation of these rules may result in cancellation without refund, denial of boarding, removal from service, refusal of future bookings, or legal action where appropriate.
7. QR Tickets, PDF Tickets, and Check-In
Falcon may issue tickets through email, PDF, QR code, website, app, or customer account features. Passengers are responsible for keeping ticket links, PDF tickets, QR codes, and booking confirmations secure.
Sharing your ticket or QR code with another person may allow that person to access or attempt to use your ticket. Falcon is not responsible for ticket misuse caused by a passenger sharing or exposing ticket information.
Falcon may use passenger lists, driver tools, check-in tools, QR scanners, and administrative systems to verify tickets, manage boarding, and prevent duplicate or invalid ticket use.
8. Boarding Requirements
Passengers must be at the correct pickup location and ready to board at least 10 minutes before departure.
Passengers may be required to show their ticket, QR code, booking confirmation, name, or other information required to verify the booking.
Falcon vehicles cannot wait for late passengers. Departure times are scheduled for the benefit of all passengers and route reliability.
9. Passenger Conduct and Safety
Passengers must follow all reasonable instructions from Falcon drivers, staff, and authorized representatives.
All passengers must wear seat belts at all times while seated in the vehicle.
The following conduct is prohibited:
- Aggressive, threatening, abusive, harassing, unsafe, or disruptive behaviour
- Refusing driver or staff instructions
- Boarding while intoxicated or under the influence of illegal drugs
- Smoking, vaping, or using e-cigarettes in or near the vehicle where prohibited
- Playing loud music, creating disturbances, or interfering with other passengers
- Damaging, misusing, or interfering with Falcon vehicles, equipment, seats, doors, cameras, safety systems, or property
- Creating a hygiene, health, safety, or comfort concern for passengers or staff
- Carrying prohibited, unsafe, illegal, hazardous, leaking, or unsuitable items
Violation of passenger conduct or safety rules may result in denial of boarding, removal from the vehicle, cancellation of the ticket without refund, refusal of future service, and legal or enforcement action where appropriate.
10. Refusal of Service or Removal for Cause
Falcon may deny boarding or remove a passenger from a vehicle if Falcon determines, in its reasonable judgment, that the passenger may create a safety, security, legal, hygiene, operational, or comfort risk, or if the passenger violates these Terms & Conditions.
If a passenger is refused service or removed for cause, no refund, credit, transfer, or alternative transportation will be provided.
11. Baggage Allowance
Each passenger may bring one small carry-on bag or backpack, up to 25 lb / 11 kg, subject to available space.
Baggage must be safe to store in the vehicle and must not block aisles, exits, seats, driver visibility, passenger comfort, or safety equipment.
Oversized, excess, unsafe, leaking, hazardous, improperly packed, or unsuitable baggage may be refused. If a passenger cannot travel because their baggage does not comply with Falcon’s baggage rules or cannot be safely accommodated, the ticket remains final sale and no refund, transfer, or alternative transportation is guaranteed.
Falcon is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen personal items or baggage. Passengers should keep valuables, electronics, documents, medication, and important items with them at all times where safe and practical.
12. Pets and Service Animals
Pets are not permitted on Falcon vehicles unless Falcon has given written permission or unless required by applicable law.
This policy does not apply to certified service animals accompanying a person with a disability, where required by law. Passengers travelling with a service animal may be required to comply with reasonable safety, identification, space, and conduct requirements.
13. Food and Drink
Passengers may bring non-alcoholic beverages in spill-proof containers and small, odorless snacks.
Hot, messy, strong-smelling, alcoholic, or disruptive food and drink items are not permitted. Passengers are responsible for keeping their area clean and may be responsible for cleaning or damage costs caused by spills, stains, or mess.
14. Children and Minor Passengers
Children under 2 years of age may travel for free if they sit on a parent’s or guardian’s lap, where permitted by law and safety requirements. A separate seat may be purchased if the child will travel in an approved child safety seat supplied and installed by the passenger or guardian where appropriate.
Minors aged 12 to 16 may travel alone only with written parental or guardian consent provided to Falcon before the trip. Falcon may refuse travel where required information, consent, or safety conditions are not satisfied.
Parents, guardians, and responsible adults are responsible for the conduct, safety, and supervision of children travelling with them.
15. Passenger Health and Fitness to Travel
Passengers are responsible for ensuring they are medically fit and healthy enough to travel for the duration of the trip.
Falcon may deny boarding to any passenger who appears acutely unwell, may pose a contagious health risk, may require medical assistance Falcon cannot provide, or may create a safety risk for themselves, other passengers, or staff.
Falcon is not responsible for health complications, medical emergencies, or losses arising from a passenger’s pre-existing condition or failure to assess their own fitness to travel.
16. Delays, Route Changes, and Force Majeure
Falcon may adjust, delay, reroute, combine, substitute, suspend, or cancel services due to operational needs, safety concerns, weather, road conditions, traffic incidents, vehicle issues, staffing limitations, government orders, emergencies, or other circumstances beyond Falcon’s reasonable control.
Falcon is not responsible or liable for delays, interruptions, route changes, or cancellations caused by events beyond Falcon’s reasonable control, including severe weather, unsafe road conditions, road closures, accidents, traffic incidents, natural disasters, power or internet outages, strikes, pandemics, public emergencies, government actions, or other force majeure events.
If Falcon cancels a trip because travel is unsafe or the service cannot reasonably operate, Falcon may offer a refund or transfer as described in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
17. Partial Travel, Early Exit, and Unused Portions
If a passenger chooses to travel only part of the route, exits early, declines to continue, misses a return trip, or decides not to use one portion of a booked trip, no partial refund, credit, or price adjustment will be provided.
18. Private Group Booking and Vehicle Rental With Driver
Private group transportation, charter-style trips, special services, and vehicle rental with driver may have separate written deposit, payment, cancellation, refund, timing, overtime, cleaning, damage, and service terms.
If separate written terms are provided for a private booking or rental-with-driver service, those separate terms will apply to that service.
19. Vehicle Video and Audio Recording
Falcon vehicles may use video and audio recording, including interior, front-facing, and rear-facing camera systems. Falcon vehicles may display signage notifying passengers that recording may be in use.
By entering or travelling in a Falcon vehicle, passengers acknowledge that recording may occur for safety, security, incident review, driver and passenger protection, insurance, legal, and operational purposes.
Recordings are not used for public marketing or promotional purposes without consent. Use of personal information and recordings is described further in Falcon’s Privacy Policy.
20. Privacy and Customer Information
Falcon collects, uses, discloses, protects, and retains personal information as described in its Privacy Policy.
By booking a ride, using a ticket, contacting Falcon, submitting feedback, using customer features, or travelling with Falcon, passengers agree that Falcon may use passenger information for booking, ticketing, payment, check-in, safety, customer support, fraud prevention, communications, service operation, legal, insurance, and record-keeping purposes.
21. Communications
By providing contact information, passengers agree that Falcon may contact them about bookings, tickets, payment, route details, pickup/drop-off information, schedule changes, delays, cancellations, customer support, safety issues, emergencies, and other service-related matters.
If Falcon sends promotional or marketing messages in the future, Falcon will do so where permitted by law and will provide required identification and unsubscribe options.
22. Public Reviews and Feedback
Passenger feedback may be used internally to improve Falcon’s services.
If a passenger gives permission for public display of a review, Falcon may publish limited review information, such as first name, rating, route/topic, review text, and general service experience. Falcon will not intentionally publish private contact details, order numbers, ticket numbers, or QR codes as part of a public review.
23. Limitation of Responsibility
Falcon’s responsibility for passenger transportation generally begins when the passenger boards the Falcon vehicle for the scheduled service and ends when the passenger exits the vehicle at the selected destination or agreed drop-off point.
Falcon is not responsible for losses, injuries, delays, missed appointments, missed work, missed connections, transportation to or from pickup/drop-off locations, personal costs, indirect losses, or consequential damages outside Falcon’s direct control, except where liability cannot be limited by law.
24. Claims and Incident Reporting
Any claim, complaint, safety concern, baggage issue, ticket issue, or incident should be reported to Falcon as soon as possible.
Falcon may request passenger name, order number, ticket number, travel date, route, pickup/drop-off location, description of the issue, photos, screenshots, or supporting information to review the matter.
Delay in reporting an issue may limit Falcon’s ability to investigate or respond.
25. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms & Conditions are governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta and the applicable federal laws of Canada.
Subject to any rights that cannot be waived under applicable law, the parties agree that any legal action or proceeding related to Falcon services shall be brought in the courts of Alberta.
26. Severability
If any part of these Terms & Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that part will be severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
27. Entire Agreement
These Terms & Conditions, together with Falcon’s Refund & Cancellation Policy, Privacy Policy, booking instructions, and any written terms provided for a specific service, form the agreement between the passenger and Falcon for the applicable service.
28. Changes to These Terms
Falcon may update these Terms & Conditions from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
