The bus left 30 minutes late so there’s that also it’s very unclear which bus to board once at the Toronto terminal, my destination was Peterborough but that wasn’t listed as a destination and we are to assume the bus going to Oshawa-Kingston is the one to get one

This was the worst transportation experience I have ever had. I was left waiting for the bus, on the street, in the dark, for 2 hours, while I tried to find out from Flixbus what was happening. No phone contact, only AI bots online. No app updates. Finally at the 2-hour mark, after 25 minutes waiting in a Chat queue (while my phone power ran down), I talked to a human agent who informed me that the bus had "skipped" my stop. And when he offered to book me onto the next bus, I discovered it wasn't for another 16 hours. What bus company allows its drivers to "skip the location" without a text or other message to anyone waiting at the stop, and without trying to put things right? I will never take a Flixbus again, and will also warn everyone I know.

The drivers are friendly but the dropoff site was different than booked, and I would have been stranded if I didn't beg the driver to drive to the correct one as booked (miles away). I have all of the screenshots to prove this, and confirmation. Scary stuff and it has lost a bunch of my trust.

Smooth ride, left and arrived on time. Seats were comfortable and having outlets near my seat was very convenient. Driver was friendly

Bus left on time… bus was comfortable and clean. It was a bit difficult finding the Union Bus station. There needs to be more detailed instructions from the entrance of Union Station.

It was excellent to find a bus service that would go directly from Toronto into Peterborough. Too bad that there is only one time to depart at each day (11:15 am) downtown. This might assist in lessening the number of people on the one bus that does depart each day. I found the seats a bit too crowded and not enough leg room - maybe a bit too cozy. They should have removed one row of seats and given a couple of more inches of room to those that were left.
