Overall it’s been a good ride. However, for some reason, the driver kept the toilets closed most of the time…

Enjoyed that the driver made it on time, did not enjoy that the seat were not comfortable and too narrow, that we are next to the toilet and that there is no fan or anything in it so we smell pretty much everything for 8 hours

The GPS of your bus is not considering construction & detour mid way.This results in delays and rerouting with the help of passengers etc, I had very bad experience with your service from Montreal to Boston on 25 September 2023 night 11:30pm.
