I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Megabus. My scheduled 5:55 PM trip was cancelled because, as passengers were informed, a rogue driver took the empty bus to Toronto, leaving the scheduled driver without a bus for the route. This was not a normal weather delay or unavoidable circumstance, it was an operational failure entirely within the company’s control. What was most frustrating was how poorly the situation was handled afterward. The only solution offered to me was to travel the following day, despite the fact that many passengers, including myself, had urgent obligations. I had an important medical appointment at 9:00 AM the next morning that I absolutely could not miss, and I do not even live in Ottawa, meaning I would have been stranded overnight with no accommodations or meaningful assistance provided. Megabus later sent a replacement bus to Kingston around 6:45 PM, but the driver advised that Kingston was his final stop and could not guarantee onward transportation to Scarborough. At that point, passengers were left uncertain, stressed, and without clear answers. What stood out most throughout this experience was the lack of customer care and contingency planning. There appeared to be little concern for how significantly this cancellation impacted passengers or for providing realistic alternatives in a timely manner. While issues can happen, how a company responds is what matters, and unfortunately this situation was handled very poorly. The refund amount itself is not the main issue for me, it is the principle of the matter and the disappointment in how customers were treated during this situation.

This is the most horrible bus service I’ve ever encountered and if they delete this review, I’m also posting on all social media platforms and will still come back to place a one star. This service has the rudest and the worst customer representative. Today, Dec 31st, 2025. This morning was my first time travelling with Maple Bus. I arrived at the correct pickup location by 7:00 AM for my bus leaving at 7:25 AM. I received a text notification advising of a delay to 7:30/7:35 AM. At approximately 7:30 AM, seeing no bus arrive. I called the representative (on shift between 7:15 AM and 8:00 AM, this is literally the worst employee on earth!) to confirm I was at the correct location. During the call, I described the Bayshore OC Transpo bus stop where I was as resembling a parking lot, and was told to go to a small bus stop, I described the small bus stop I could see as Station B, which the representative confirmed was correct, while advising of a further delay to approximately 7:40–7:45 AM. Based on her instructions, I moved to a smaller nearby bus stop. Another passenger in the same situation later called the same representative and was again assured that we were at the correct location. At 7:40 AM, when the bus had still not arrived, the other passenger gave a call to the representative. I have been following up on this trip since 7:00 AM, and have had two phone calls with this representative by 7:30 AM and then around 7:35 AM the passenger I met at the small bus top we were told to go gave her a call as well to this same number ((613) 627-3019). At 7:40 AM, the passenger gave a call again as we hadn’t seen the bus yet. Guess what? The representative sent a new address, which was one we had originally been at at 7:00 AM and was told to move away from. This was approximately five minutes away and if we ran, 3 minutes. I told her I was at this location and she had asked me to move to a small bus stop and confirmed
