Red Arrow User Reviews
Red Arrow receives praise for its comfortable seating, friendly staff, and clean buses. Passengers appreciate the snacks and drinks provided during trips. However, some reviews mention issues such as non-functional outlets for charging devices, small bathrooms with unpleasant odors, unexpected stops or delays in service schedules without prior notification to passengers.
The bus was very clean and comfortable; however, I found the reflections caused by the tinted windows very disconcerting. It may have been the result of the overcast day which may have been worse but not completely. The only way to eliminate it was by turning your head 90 degrees to look straight out which was very uncomfortable. I get motion sickness if I read in a moving vehicle so window gazing is very important to me. I was in the small bus.

The service itself was great, however, I had a bus booked for 0915. This bus was cancelled, yet I wasn't informed about this. I waited in freezing temperatures for an hour. I had to use a nearby hotel to call, and they informed me that my booking had changed to 1130. This would have been fine if I was informed, but I wasn't. They said they tried to call me and emailed me about the change. This didn't happen. What I would recommend, is having a Whatsapp contact as well. Because I am from overseas, my phone could only use the internet to keep contacted (I was using an esim). Instead on relying on phone contact/email to contact passengers, and this either doesn't work or could be missed. Sending a Whatsapp message to the passenger would be a lot better. And passengers could also contact the bus company using the app.

This is my favorite bus line by far. It's comfortable, very clean (including the restroom onboard), the amenities work consistently, the drivers are very kind and professional, and there is a beverage/snack service available. Will also mention, that although the bus may be a bit late picking up due to TO traffic, I have always arrived in ottawa on time!
