Rider Express Ottawa Belleville recent customer reviews

Great new bus with plush leather seating. The only issue I have is that they recline too much into the seat behind. When the passenger infront of me reclined all the way back his headrest was pretty much just inches from my face. I couldn't even eat or take a drink. Very intrusive!

The bus wasn’t too crowded. We had a lot of space. The driver was very nice and the electric plugs and wifi were really good! However, the time of arrival changed because we had an unplanned stop and there was no way of finding out when we would get to the destination.

The bus was unmarked so from the beginning i was creeped out a bit. Its smelled like pee the entire time. And the bus driver checked his phone several times while driving.

This trio was a nightmare. The bus had a 2hours delay communicated. Then 1h 30 delay with no communication. In total 3h 30 minutes delay reaching belleville at 0h 30 with no public transport and no taxis around and worse not even an apology or compensation. Pity
