I have used the service four times this year and the bus has never left Sudbury on time. We always get to Ottawa near midnight instead of 10:30pm

The bus left me because I did not know where the bus stop was as I don't live in Ottawa. Even if I used the GPA, no driver was able to locate the correct place.

The toilet is smelling so bad in the bus which made my trip horrible as my throat reacts to the acidic smell of pea which causes me to cough. I noticed some other travelers coughing as well because of the smell. As i write, I have sore throat with the production of mucus because of this bus trip. If possible, pls take away the toilet from the buses; Its not worth it. I didn't even use the toilet on both trips.
