Unfortunately, the trip turned into a highly stressful and unsafe experience: Mechanical Breakdown: After leaving Toronto at approximately 6:30 PM, the bus broke down around 8:45 PM, leaving passengers stranded in the middle of the road. The driver’s behaviour was extremely unsafe, which caused significant concern for the safety of all passengers. Extended Travel Time: What was supposed to be a short trip became a five-hour ordeal, and we did not arrive in Ottawa until around 1:00 AM. This caused me not only severe stress and exposure to extreme winter cold, but also resulted in me missing an important appointment at 9:30 PM, causing financial and personal losses. Return Trip Issue: On my return journey on January 2, 2026, the bus again stopped in the middle of the route, requiring a bus change, which caused additional delays and further inconvenience. This has been the worst travel experience I have ever had, and I cannot tolerate such unsafe and unreliable service.

Horrible experience - You'll get stuck in the Highway, & cust. service declines everything & hurries you off the phones. For Your Safety, Please go with the other coach companies, Megabus will break down in the middle of Snow storm, and then when you call the customer service, they will find every excuse in the books to decline you. Terrible bus experience and customer service experience. I was on a Mega Bus From Toronto Union Station to Ottawa On Dec. 26 2025. The Bus probably had no snow tires, it got stuck in Scarborough, we had to get Toronto Police big rigs to help us unstuck from the snow. There was no communications, and then it got stuck again in the 401, with no communication. Some people got off at Scarborough, because if the bus is sliding and getting stuck in the city, imagine when you're in the Boonies of the 401. The bus Arrived hours late to every destination. And then You call the Mega Bus toll free number, and they Look for every reason to decline you any kind of compensation or coupons. Very Cheap and unorganized company, Please for your own safety, avoid Mega Bus, go with the other providers. While we were stuck and sliding off road, there were other Coach buses passing us and they were well equipped with proper tires.

I have used this service about 3 times because of the price but every time I used it I was met horrible stories. One in particular Horrible Experience happened cause of the main driver( I believe his name is Shamin). He is Rude, Racist and once they get your money they could honestly care less about you for the remainder of the ride. He asked specific people to look at their tickets and let others go, used to throw words at you in public settings such as "You won't scam me" and "I know the law" (Had to pay extra for my bag but the website I used never offered the option, instead of just explaining it he ridicules and chuckles). But this latest experience was the worst, I believe the Busbud app malfunctioned but they were selling Monday tickets under the Sunday date and I bought it not realizing(its never happened before but I'll take fault). But I got to the stop it didn't come as scheduled and came hours later. Most of the people had left due to no update so the bus had many extra seats. He picked up what was left of us drove to the city I didn't know and realised my ticket was wrong. Even though I've driven with him a couple of times now he yelled at the front of the bus I was scamming him and I was getting dropped off at the next stop. All to my confusion, people on the bus were trying to plead since it was his job to scan tickets ticket before I got on and he didn't this time. I was left in the cold and told if I didn't pay $100 right there (no refund mind you) they would leave. While on customer support he drove away. I will never use this service and glad I just wasn't too many hours out from toronto. Will never used their service again since I feel like I was scammed

He has racist and horrible behavioral concerns! I traveled with them several times, particularly when the owner drove; he was in a nasty temper! They literally entice clients by asking for 5-star evaluations and offering free beverages! The car space is extremely congested—there is simply not enough room ! I would not suggest this firm to anyone!

WORST BUS SERVICE EVER. I take many buses to see my boyfriend as we don’t live in the same city. The company is dirty, the facilities smell terrible. They cancel without warning. My bus today got cancelled 2h before departure. The last time I took BookARide, they cancelled my trip due to PARKING ISSUES. YOURE A BUS COMPANY? So irresponsible, does not care for its clients. I feel like I’m gambling everytime I buy a ticket because you don’t know what the issue will be this time! PLEASE do yourself a favour and do not book with them. Rider Express is a bit more expensive, but still relatively cheap priced for a ride 10x better than this company. They are also more reliable- and won’t cancel almost 50% of your trips.
