It was ok. But the bus didnot stop for break at any place, just to get some fresh air and use washroom.
The seats at the back of the bus shouldn't be sold to passengers as it is highly uncomfortable due to how close it is to the washroom and passengers kept hitting my knees with the door. The offensive smell from the washroom made my ride very unbearable.
It was very bad and there is no any stop for break on the way. Even the travelers cannot charge their cell phone in bus, because all of them out of service

Bus arrived and left on-time, and even arrived early to destinations. Very comfortable ride, though it would have been nice for the headrests to be adjustable as I am very tall and so my shoulders were digging into the headrest. Overall very worth the money and very satisfied!
Travel timing was good. The parking at Kingston is far from Tim Hortons, Harvey's etc. 10 mins break time was good. But felt little hard to go and come back from Tim hortans
This bus was very cheap compared to other options, we left on time and arrived 30mins early to our destination. Not a lot of people were on the bus so I got my own row to myself. Overall good trip.

Great! I don’t like long stops
Unfortunately the bus was very behind schedule and arrived at the destination almost 1 hour past the ticketed time. Also my seat recliner was broken, not allowing me to lock the seat it in position. The whole ride my seat was tilting back and forth making it very uncomfortable.
