Pick up location in Ottawa was very clear. Staff was helpful. Bus clean. Drop off location in Montreal was hard to figure out in advance to have someone pick me up - but we managed and it was okay.

I show up at 1:13 and the bus had left ahead of schedule. When I tried to explain my situation to customer support they had few words and insisted nothing can be done. Tried sending an email but their current email address no longer exists. Awful customer service had to find alternative transportation
