Excellent over all, departed on time, clean bus, great driver. Only down side is that it is a bit over priced, compared to via rail.

I had to take a longer ride to get back home. My stop was not available at the Portage due to construction. We should have been notified in advance that the stop was not accessible. Next time I get off in Ottawa U
