Greyhound Boston Ottawa recent customer reviews

The first part from Boston until driver change and the last part from Montreal to Ottawa, there was no comment at all from the driver. It would have helped to get an idea of the timelines of the trip as well as the stopps that were made. The overnight bus from Boston to Montreal was not comfortable at all.

Too many stops. Delayed departure from Boston by 20 mins without any announcements. Cattle-like treatment by staff. Bus not comfortable. No wifi. Generally very poor quality compared to similar long distance bus service in Europe.
