Pros: Speed limit is too slow and too many stopping delays the trip. 10 hours traveling is not easy. Cons: Increase speed limit and reduce number of stopping. Tips: Ensure you are at the pickup point on time.

Ontario Northland
Pros: Got two seats to myself Rest stops were appropriately spaced Wifi had shows and movies offered, I’ve never seen that before Cons: Dryden rest stop could be moved to one of the grocery stores for lunch. A little unrealistic to expect a&w to serve 30 plus people in only 20 mins The wifi worked for social media purposes, but not for streaming movies or tv off Netflix or Disney Tips: Make sure to stretch your legs at each stop, and try to use washroom off the bus. Nothing wrong with the facilities but it’s tricky to use while you’re hurtling down the highway
