Pros: The go trip by bus was good. But the bus was Miserable condition, Brakes used, and each time the driver ( not his fault ) used them, a GrrrrrrRrrEeee Metalic Noise cames from Used Brakes! Unsafety and could be punish by road officer. And plugs didn’t worked for charge our phone! I tried several seat with plugs and all were used. Cons: What I said above.. Security of passengers ( seatbelt <—- ) Comfort = Seat with chargers plugs , and safety belt And The security of the car. Cause the break were used <—- and caused a Metalic big noise. Tips: To watch closely the reservation ! Cause I still angry that my return ( 9th January toronto ——-> MTL ) have been Cancelled 2 hours!!! Before my leaving. It absolutely UNACEPTABLE.
