Ottawa to Kingston was great. Once boarding Kingston bus we sat for an hour before anyone telling us what was going on. Then half an hour for a mechanic. Then another half an hour. No apologies, no updates on when we would arrive, awful experience.

The trip never happened. It was canceled and no email was sent. We didn’t know what happened because they didn’t answer the phone.

I always enjoy how comfortable the bus is, but this time around, boarding was very messy and we left late. There was no clear indication of a line, so people skipped it. We arrived in Toronto almost an hour later than originally scheduled.

Driver was courteous. Bus was clean. Seat was comfortable.
Driver dealt with a passenger who had a medical emergency when disembarking for a time break in Kingston. Driver stayed calm, contacted emergency services and comforted victim until paramedics arrived. He also liaisoned with Starbuck staff as the emergency ended up on the restaurant property adjacent to the bus lay up at the Harvey’s. Driver kept us informed and as no was going to Scarborough Station or there were no scheduled pick ups, he was able to keep on time. Kudos to him.

OurBus Ottawa Toronto recent customer reviews
Departure and arrival were late, but it was mostly due to traffic, so I can't fault anyone for that. The driver did not come to the proper pickup location even though he ended up driving right by it to turn around once we were loaded. Even sitting in the middle of the bus, it smelled strongly like an outhouse whenever anyone used the toilet. The outlets and Wifi were non-functional.

Tracy D.
smelled really bad because of the toilet and there was an hour delay which wasn’t necessarily the bus’ fault, but the driver pulled over to the side of the road on the highway which was a bit confusing and scary. Otherwise, the bus driver waited for late passengers which was nice and I liked the 20 minute break stop

Our trip for 10:00 am was canceled at 2:00 am at night for „unforeseen circumstances“ so we had to scramble to find a new bus with a different company in the morning. Extremely short notice and no alternative trip or customer service available from the company. Extremely dissatisfied.
