Busbud recommends carpooling from Peterborough to Ottawa
Among the sustainable travel choices, the carpool stands out as the good way to reach Ottawa. The journey takes about 3 hours 15 minutes and with fares starting at just $23, it presents an excellent value for a comfortable ride.
Users have shared that the bus service offers good value for money and maintains cleanliness, with timely arrivals at intermediate stops. However, some passengers noted limited legroom similar to economy class on an aircraft and a noticeable chemical smell in the bathroom area.
Users consistently highlight the cleanliness and comfort of the buses, as well as professional and friendly drivers. The service is appreciated for its affordability and smooth travel experience. However, some users noted occasional delays without updates or tracking information, which caused concern. Despite minor issues like non-functional outlets or tight seating spaces, overall satisfaction remains high with many expressing willingness to use Rider Express again due to their positive experiences.
It was a fast, efficient trip with the bus driver clearly knowing what he was doing. The ride however was rather bumpy and scary at times how much the bus would be swaying on the highway.

The drop off was supposed to be at the Kanata park-and-ride. They dropped my elderly mother off at sleep country, which is not the right location.

Bus was cancelled, and a voucher was sent for a different bus company several hours after I already booked a replacement trip. Absolutely useless company. And the driver simply didn't know where to go, and would only park to let passengers off when the whole bus began to yell at him. I will never use this service again.

The bus was an hour and 10 minutes late. the “live tracker” was very inaccurate and constantly changing its arrival time. The notification system is awful, i was getting emails sent to be that were drafted 2 hours previously. Also the bus kept getting delayed but telling an inaccurate time. The last notification I got said it would arrive at 5:10 (50 minutes late) but it actually arrived at 5:35, a big jump in time. Also the location is unclear.
