FlixBus Ottawa Peterborough recent customer reviews
I loved everything! The driver was very good at communicating with everyone on the bus. Warning us when we should order mcdonaldsin order to get your food within the 20 minute wait. The fact that we were even watned about the break and when to come back was unusual because ive never had a driver do that. It was a really good ride over all. Felt very safe and comfortable

I found it strange that Flix bus policy I had to put my own suitcases[ which I paid additional baggage fees for] underneath the bus myself. Especially since the driver had to crawl underneath to get them out upon my departure.
Tracy M.
I paid $100 to get from Ottawa to Peterborough and the bus did not take us to Peterborough because of a highway closure that they had previous knowledge of before our departure. I am very disappointed with FlixBus as I’m sure many other customers who were with me would also be.
