The bus didn’t show up. I was on time, in the right location and ended up stranded. I wasn’t able to show up to work this morning and because of it, I was fired. If I could give negative stars I would.
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
According to multiple reviews, the service is highly praised for being very clean and safe, providing a smooth ride. However, there were reports of a 30-minute delay in Toronto.
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 ac/light panels in the bus were broken. The number of stops were not mentioned in the ticket. The bus stopped at 4 places. There were no water bottles provided. The bus smelled as if it had not been washed for ages. Pathetic experience. Never going to book this operator again!
It’s more than 2.5 hours late than expected time. I miss my connected bus. It’s bad experience for me.
Bus was 30 minutes late, very old and dirty with no wifi and washroom was disgusting

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
