One of the best buses I know, it has charging plugs, wifi, seats are comfortable and it's clean...Ontario Northland is the best I wish they had a route from Toronto to Montreal.

The whole experience was a nightmare. There wasn’t enough information at Union Station. I’m 74 years old and I was sent all over the place to try to figure out where to catch the train. I spoke to several GO train reps and information. Everyone sent me to a different place. Once I finally found the correct train I rode it from Toronto to King City where I was supposed to transfer to a bus to take me to Barrie. Station was closed, no one around to help. No idea where to catch the bus. No signs directing me to a bus pick up. Total disaster. I booked an Uber to take me to Barrie. $66 additional. What a horrible time I had.
