Passengers have praised the bus service for its convenient schedules and smooth rides, appreciating features like easy transfers at new stations.

FlixBus London Ottawa recent customer reviews

Loved that it was right on schedule and met my expectations. It was convenient and easy to use. What I did not enjoy as much was that I had paid for a "direct" bus but was asked to get off in Scarborough and switch buses. It wasn't so bad as the 2nd bus was much nicer and comfortable. Also, when I first got on the bus, I had an assigned seat but the bus was full and I had to resort to sitting at the very back.

Driver was talking to his phone while driving for a long time. More than 1 hour delay, a ten minute break took about 30 minutes. I arrived late to an important event.

I did not know that the trip from Toronto to Ottawa was in a luxury travel van, with no bathroom. And the drop off in Kanata was not where the ticket indicated , quite inconvenient.
