Way too many stops. I lost count between Sudbury and the Sault. I understand efficiencies, maximize riders hip.. but that was silly. Co-ordinate central pick up and drop off locations.

Sheppard M.

There was very little direction as to where the busses were supposed to pick us up. Everyone's standing around asking, is this the Sudbury bus? Is this going to Timmons? Also, the bus was pouring down water onto me and the guy next to me. If it was a full bus and we couldn't move there would have been a huge problem
