Ontario Northland Sault Ste. Marie Barrie recent customer reviews
I thought the service was great we were able to have breaks to eat and smoke which was great enjoyed this service would ride with them again👍👍
Roxanne W.
I give my first experience using Ontario Northland an excellent 5 Star rating!! All my bus drivers couldn’t have been more personable, helpful, and - they were all excellent drivers! My 10 hour bus drive each way was comfortable, as well...much better than I was anticipating on such a long journey. I will be recommending Ontario Northland bus travelling to all my friends.
Judy L.
The drivers were friendly and knowledgeable. Kind and considerate. The customer service representative in Sudbury, male with glasses was very short and rude not only with me but I observed how brief and short he was expressing annoyance especially with passengers who had a language barrier. The seats were comfortable, wifi connection was great. There were a lot of stops from Sudbury to Barrie. Almost too many. Otherwise a five star for Ontario Northland. I would cut down on all the little stops.
