Bus on time 4:30 pm leaving Toronto Union Station. It was rush hour - no fault of the driver (very friendly, helpful & kind!) and we arrived closer to 7pm instead of 6pm. The company would know this - would be nice to mention potential delays (1 hr) due to rush hour…

Communication is needed from the driver to the passengers in regards to why we left late, what was the hold up. Supervisors should not be calling the driver while he is driving, which did happen several times. Also Supervisor called me, a passenger to get a location of where the bus was en route.

Return journey spot on, great driver and on time. Outbound journey 20 mins late and dropped off in bus station carpark no idea re which direction was Niagra Falls. Two buildings derelict next to car park, seemed very cold and unwelcoming. Once walking to the falls all was well.
