all was fine: good driver, easy late-night border crossing, no issues with weather or traffic
4.0 out of 5 stars

My coach was canceled and I received no information and so I arrived at the station and found out in the bored. I had then had to ask if there was a next coach or what was happening as they didn't tell me they put me in the next one. However it being the following day and arriving at New York a lot later then meant to caing me to miss out of commitments.
The following coach was then full and at a point we had to make a driver change we then sat at the carpark for 30mins-1hour waiting.
I was not impressed with the service.
sat in an emergency window seat and did not have much leg room due to the way the seats are screwed to the floor and the plug sockets did not work or any of the seats around me

Great! It's so much better than Greyhound! I will pay the extra to be on Trailways and not on Greyhound. Your company should sever ties with Greyhound/Flixbus. They offer mediocre service.
The reviews highlight the friendly and helpful nature of the bus drivers, contributing to a generally positive travel experience.

it had good wifi and charging speed, but the climate control was broken so we were freezing for hours. the driver was very nice though, and let us move seats to try and avoid the hard bursts of air

Bus driver was lovely and made it an easy experience for us. However, the guy behind us was snoring loud enough to register on the Richter scale.

James D.
The bus itself was comfortable, however our driver kept yelling about vaping and weed even though all passengers were respecting the policy. He would use threats of calling the police on us and how our trip would be prolonged. However, nobody was smoking nor carried any form of drugs.

The bus left on time (after the driver gave us a little brief of the trip ahead, which I had rarely encountered in other bus trips) and arrived 2 hours early. It was a smooth and comfortable ride, with a very pleasant driver. Definitely recommend as the best cross border form of transport from MTL->NY

Absolutely horrifying... it was around 40 to 42 degrees in the bus because the AC broke down and the electric plugs didn't work until halfway through thr trip when we requested a reboot of the electric box. This bus should have never passed inspections because there is so much that's wrong with it. We were all drenched in sweat and had trouble breathing from the heat, some started to feel dizzy and came close to fainting.
Users have shared positive experiences with the train service, highlighting its comfort and spacious seating. The ease of travel is appreciated by many. However, some users noted that the WiFi connection could be unstable at times and expressed a desire for faster travel speeds.

Train was on time and there was a good amount of room on board. Wifi on my phone was a little finnicky. The connection wasn't stable the whole ride but I managed.

At first it was nice, then we kept being delayed... And ended up on NYC at almost midnight instead of ten
