We lost 1 hr. a the Union Station because the broken system for wheelchair passengers. The bus went to airport and som passengers had to take an alternative transportation to get the on time. The busdriver did all his best however there was no significant assistance from the Union Station terminal personal or the bus line administration. Another disappointing matter - the empty sanitizer in toilet.
The bus was cold and because of the washroom in it, all the bus smelled very bad, I got a headache from the smell of toilet and the temperature was not appropriate
The trip was advertised to have free wifi, but there was no wifi at all on the Flixbus I was on

Horrible. I booked a ride from “book a ride”. The ride never showed up and it was delayed by 4 hours. Almost missed my plane. Never use this service.
I enjoyed the ride but not the lateness of the bus to arrive at the pickup location
The bus was late, I thought it wouldn’t come and then we arrived hour late to Toronto

Rider Express Ottawa Toronto recent customer reviews
It was a comfortable, safe and smooth journey. Couldn’t have had an easier time.
Bus arrived and left on-time, and even arrived early to destinations. Very comfortable ride, though it would have been nice for the headrests to be adjustable as I am very tall and so my shoulders were digging into the headrest. Overall very worth the money and very satisfied!
Travel timing was good. The parking at Kingston is far from Tim Hortons, Harvey's etc. 10 mins break time was good. But felt little hard to go and come back from Tim hortans

The cabin was acceptable with air condition however the first driver was not very welcoming passenger . The wash room at stop station was very dirty and smelly.
Unfortunately the bus was very behind schedule and arrived at the destination almost 1 hour past the ticketed time. Also my seat recliner was broken, not allowing me to lock the seat it in position. The whole ride my seat was tilting back and forth making it very uncomfortable.
From Ottawa to Kingston the driver was very nice,but the driver from Kingston to Toronto is not kindly with clients,is very stupid
