I had a very bad experience with flix bus again, my bus was supposed to arrive at 5:15 pm today but instead it delayed and later on the driver did not stop at pickering at all and me along with 5 other passengers were left there, had to book another ticket from toronto and take an uber to toronto, cost me alot more and had to wait 3 hours
