Maritime Bus Sydney Halifax recent customer reviews

Taking the bus from Sydney to Halifax was great. I could visit friends without having to pack up the whole family or making others book off time to drive me. It was hassle free and relaxing. I will most certainly take the bus many more times!

The bus driver was polite and drove well. For a long travel time, I’d hope that bus would at least have a toilet on board instead of doing short stops
