Only suggestion is to remove two seat rows and give more leg room for all. I'm 5'8" and wasn't comfortable when person ahead leaned chair back and could not work or read well. I would pay $10 more for more space.
There was a protest in Ottawa with road blocks.
The driver made a great job to get get through the closed areas and get us to Montreal on Time on a comfortable clean bus.
Many thanks.
I got a bus ticket but what brought me to montreal was a van with about 6 or 7 other people in it. it was cramped and the driver did not drop us off at the usual bus stop on berri uqam, instead i had to walk about 10 minutes on berri to get there.
It was the first time I got on the Bus in Ottawa. There were no signs to guide me to the station. It was cold in the morning and it was uncomfortable to stand outside waiting for the Bus. In the future, it should be marked as waiting for the Bus departure 7:45 am is outside.
The wifi on the bus was not working and I needed to complete a paper for school. If I would have been informed ahead of time that the wifi was not working I would have scheduled somewhere else.
The trip from Ottawa to Montreal was great. The driver was friendly and nice. The only thing I would recommended would be improving the WiFi connection: it kept dropping during the trip. Other than that everything was great!
Very great although got dropped off at a different location in Montreal than I purchased and was only told on the bus before leaving. Other than that, good experience.
Reliable pickup. Good driver. Would be helpful for first timers to have a sign so we are sure we are at the right spot:-) Or post a picture of the surrounding on site
Unbelievable a trip from Ottawa back to Montreal took 3.5 hrs. I understand the traffic might happen but the fact that the driver took off late and drove somewhere in Ottawa to pick up another customer then had a break on the way were unacceptable. There was supposed to have NO stop in between
Directions to where to take the bus in Ottawa were not clear, the address provided, stating Via rail station A, were incorrect. It should be clearly indicated that it’s in fact right in front of the train station.
Small uncomfortable vehicle and the driver took a terribly long route to get to the destination. The bus stop wasn’t marked and I was worried until the bus arrived
I was very satisfied. The driver did all he could to make up time but the construction and traffic made it impossible for him to be on Time. He was very helpful in carrying heavy baggage for the women. I appreciated his checking if the temperature was ok , and stopping so that anyone who needed the washroom could do so.
