I loved everything! The driver was very good at communicating with everyone on the bus. Warning us when we should order mcdonaldsin order to get your food within the 20 minute wait. The fact that we were even watned about the break and when to come back was unusual because ive never had a driver do that. It was a really good ride over all. Felt very safe and comfortable

I found it strange that Flix bus policy I had to put my own suitcases[ which I paid additional baggage fees for] underneath the bus myself. Especially since the driver had to crawl underneath to get them out upon my departure.

Tracy M.
I paid $100 to get from Ottawa to Peterborough and the bus did not take us to Peterborough because of a highway closure that they had previous knowledge of before our departure. I am very disappointed with FlixBus as I’m sure many other customers who were with me would also be.
Users have shared positive experiences, highlighting the cleanliness and comfort of the buses, along with timely arrivals. The drivers are often praised for their professionalism and effective handling of situations. However, some users noted issues such as vague meeting points or insufficient break times during trips. Overall, travelers appreciate the service's convenience and reliability.
Ride from and to destination was smooth with no problems, as 1st time users, the meeting point was extremely vague, got to Park & Ride and there were numerous areas for the bus to stop at, no signage for pick up. At Peterborough drop off and pick up area is a block from Tim Hortons why not say at Wendy's, and put a sign where to wait

Annoying rattling noise the whole time from wheels and seats and less leg room than before.

They cancelled my 6am trip about the night before. There was no other options to travel at another time so I missed a family wedding.
1 out of 5 stars
Holly S.
There were two drivers for my trip from Ottawa. The first one seemed fine, but the second one was extremely incompetent. She lacked professionalism and seemed unfamiliar with basic driving skills. I felt unsafe throughout the journey. She struggled with tasks as simple as operating the windshield wipers and opening the bus door. Her driving was reminiscent of an inexperienced learner.
2 out of 5 stars
Elham K.
The bus never showed up. I waited an hour. No email, nothing. Terrible customer service.
