Pros Good relation with staff
Pros On time, helpful friendly driver!!! Cons Some better signage at drop off point at Yorkdale Mall - I ubered there and the driver was a little insure. Go train has lots of sinage but Northlander does not.. I could only assume it serviced Northlander. Tips Be on time and you’ll be fine!
Pros it was ok ;-) Cons 0 Tips 0
Pros No connecting buses for an eight hour ride. Very convenient
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
Pros Very nice driver Cons all good
Pros The kindness of the driver and his attention

Ontario Northland Bus Guide & FAQs
Yes, Ontario Northland offers WiFi on their buses. Although most trips with Ontario Northland will have WiFi as advertised, some buses might not come equipped with WiFi and onboard WiFi can lose its connection in rural areas. We recommend you bring a book or download a movie just to play it safe. Ontario Northland WiFi is generally best used for surfing the web, checking emails and chatting with friends; you shouldn’t count on the WiFi to binge watch your favorite show.
Yes, there are power outlets onboard Ontario Northland buses. You can generally find one or two sockets per row of seats, so be a good traveller and check if your seat neighbor might want to charge up their devices as well. With the onboard power outlets, you can charge both a computer and USB devices with a USB power adapter that typically comes with most phones and tablets.
Since Ontario Northland might sometimes use replacement bus vehicles, not all trips are guaranteed to have power points. We recommend bringing a power bank to charge your phone for all trips over 2 hours, just in case.
