Ontario Northland Barrie Sault Ste. Marie recent customer reviews
I would have enjoyed a clean window to look out of. Also on the trip from Sudbury to SSM there was a rather chatty female that talked non stop for hours. I also had a young indigenous couple with a baby in front of me. The baby was far better behaved ( very quiet ) than the inconsiderate chatty one. Who was unaware or uncaring that she was keeping people from resting. And infecting the shared space with her nonsense .When the seat beside and slightly in front of me came available the lady behind me rushed to it to get away from the chatter. So after our stop in blind river and the bus pulled onto the guest. Ms chatty started up again. So I personally asked the folks in the back to keep it down a bit, “Please”. Then it was far quieter. Thankfully.
