The bus had no Air conditioning and was like a sauna with other getting frustrated and with a trip of 6 hours long one 15 min stop and the driver did not request another bus in place of his with the 5 min warning that we could not part at that time and pick a later bus or board and troop on the driver was very nice but a broken bus should of been called in for an emergency switch with one that did have air conditioning as the temperature on bus was so hot I was drench with sweat when boarding off

It was a decent trip, the security staff were clear with instructions and the driver was good. At Toronto, I didn't hear the call to board, perhaps broadcasting in the terminal's washrooms could be added. Also, for travellers, usb charging would be welcome! Otherwise, a comfortable trip.
