Due to the covid-19 the departure date from Ottawa was cancelled and had to find alternate ways to get home. I did not receive any notification, but was able to request a voucher to be used at a later time. Still have not received voucher

The bus driver was arrogant and the employees at the NY bus station were not helpful

The ride from New York to Montreal was quite uncomfortable. Small legroom, the interior worn out, and heavy smell from the bus toilet. The coach from Montreal to Ottawa was very comfortable, equipped with leather seats and enough legroom.
