Ontario Northland Winnipeg Ottawa recent customer reviews

Transfers good. Buses on time. Seats comfortable enough although buses looking a little tired and worn, and a little rattle in the shade by my seat. Staff professional, polite. Directions could be more precise as Winnipeg pickup point said hospital, but it was in fact 10 min walk past and up the road, and the bus parks/departs from around the corner of building, perhaps could be indicated on ticket info and to go into building/office.
