Pick up location in Ottawa was very clear. Staff was helpful. Bus clean. Drop off location in Montreal was hard to figure out in advance to have someone pick me up - but we managed and it was okay.

I show up at 1:13 and the bus had left ahead of schedule. When I tried to explain my situation to customer support they had few words and insisted nothing can be done. Tried sending an email but their current email address no longer exists. Awful customer service had to find alternative transportation

It was great! The driver was the sweetest person ever and super helpful. The bus left a few minutes late but caught up to the expected time of arrival.

I liked the convenience of the trip and relatively smooth driving. The bus smelled of the bathroom unfortunately. I was picked up in Peterborough and there was no sign for the bus. A sign would help folks understand where to line up.
The driver very quietly announced each stop and some travellers asked him to repeat. At the last stop, the driver drove past the drop off area and had to back in causing cars behind to honk.
