Metrolinx Toronto Thunder Bay recent customer reviews

In terms of comfort, 100% beat my expectations. From the drivers, to the seats (I never used the toilet so I don’t know) etc. Only complaint I have is the wifi was ridiculously slow. Couldn’t watch Netflix or YouTube the whole journey and 1 of the buses power sockets wasn’t working
