Megabus Canada Montreal Toronto recent customer reviews

It was smelly and the seats look like they’ve never been washed. Also, I was seating at the row near the toilet, so it was unpleasant. A man locked the toilet’s door with no one inside and instead of letting the driver know and find a solution, he peed in an empty bottle behind my seat while standing up. It was disgusting.

Bus left on time. Reached early at the halfway terminal stop. Second part of the journey was delayed as the driver was late. We reached only 20min later than the estimated time

Megabus charged me $40 extra for 1 luggage which was extremely costly but otherwise, the service was good. Timely bus, and much needed hault in Kingston.
