Great comfy seats. Very smooth on the road. Loved having a stop for a 20 minute break. Very few stops. So much better than VIA rail!!

An A+ for time But there were no announcements to inform even that we had reached our destination We had been allocated seats but we were told that the bus was changed so we just had to sit wherever we could find seats. A kind young lady gave us her seat so that we could sit together. Please note that we are two seniors.
