FlixBus Ottawa Hamilton recent customer reviews
Direct from Ottawa to Hamilton was great and the price was very good, however my seat was in the back and the latch on the bathroom door kept swinging open. An inexpensive latch on the inside would at least provide privacy!
4.0 out of 5 stars

This was terrible. Driver missed a stop. Sat on side of road idling . A 7 hour bus ride took 10 hours
