I arrived at my destination over an hour late, there was no internet on the bus as posted online, and the power outlets were not working.
The bus driver was very reckless, cutting cars on the highway, swerving, speeding, slamming breaks. I did not feel safe for one minute on the bus. I’m not sure if the driver was not sober or just reckless. In hindsight I wish I spoke up then but I’m glad I got off that bus safely! Very disappointing
Couldn’t board the bus as I was not able to trace the location. Tried contacting the customer service no one connected. The live tracking still shows the same which is 359 kms away from Ottawa. Worst experience and waste of money and time
