FlixBus Hamilton Ottawa recent customer reviews

It was very nice and cool, well ventilated very roomy. The second bus I took had outlets throughout to charge your phone and I took two trips today and for most of my two trips I was alone in the seats even though I hadn’t paid to be alone, prices are also more reasonable than megabus.

Relatively clean bus but could be cleaner. Driver didn’t help us load bags which was annoying. Seats were not the worst and not the best, average. Overall it is economic travel for people who can’t afford better. I liked that there was a convenient charging outfit at my seat. Wifi was choppy and cut in and out (mostly out…)
