Ontario Northland Ottawa Matheson recent customer reviews
I had a great trip to Northbay from Matheson, however once in Northbay and smoking my medication outside before boarding. The driver smelt my medicine and threatened whoever was smoking that stuff wasn't about to board the bus. As an elder lady with PTSD, this shook me to the core as I thought Iwould be banished and left away from home for trying to stay alive during a bus ride. I was very upset. The same driver was nice on the way back probably never suspecting it was an little old lady smoking weed for a brain tumor.
