Greyhound Chicago Montreal recent customer reviews
The wifi was sketchy, since it relied on ground towers, so I got kicked off and had to reconnect every 10-15 minutes. The last bus of a 22 hour trip had no outlets or wifi, so that was disappointing. The staff was all very friendly, which I chalk up to being in Canada since they have not been friendly before, and the buses were clean and on time, so that was great!
Based on 12135 reviews, the company was rated 3.5 stars on Busbud. Travellers were especially satisfied with the ticket access and the temperature but often complained with the Wi-Fi. FlixBus ticket prices on this trip start at R 1 295
