Seats were unbearable and caused such a backache. Way too cramped. No curtains. No legsspace.

The trip was on time, and not so crowded. However, 10 minutes break was not enough for a 5 hours trip.
Passengers have noted that the driving experience was smooth and cautious, with drivers being particularly friendly and ensuring a comfortable ride. However, there were concerns about the lack of real-time bus tracking in the app, which led to anxiety when buses did not arrive on time as expected.
driver was super nice and drives comfortably. but the app should have the system showing where the buses are. i was almost about cry bus not coming on time. horrible experience.

ONEXBUS Kitchener Ottawa recent customer reviews
I missed the bus because I got zero support from the drivers. They did call me related to the bus, but I couldn't understand their Indian accents (no racist), so I stated Im moving from Kitchener to Ottawa, their tone sounds rude and they hang up, leaving me out there, freezing for like an hour because I got no update from them, I didnt even know their bus being late or I missed the bus. When my friend tried to call them related this topic, they stated I didn't response to them so they leave me. We DID call and communicate, the problem is I don't understand their accent, and they hang up without giving any support. I ended up paying for another ticket with $50 and got freezed for 70 minutes.
