Driver was great and I liked that the bus wasn’t full. On time pickup which was great. The washroom was running low on toilet paper, and was out of hand sanitizer. The little change of making sure there is hand sanitizer would go a long way in improving comfort.

This is at least my 10th time if not more travelling with Rider Express. Each and every experience has been amazing. Drivers are always kind, attentive and patient, Bus aisles, seating and restrooms are always spotlessly clean. Seating, climate and lighting are always comfortable. This is the only transit company that continuously offers affordable and cheap prices, providing me the opportunity to see my family much more often than I thought possible. I recommend Rider Express to every single person I discuss public and affordable transit to.

We were almost an hour late - this was in part due to heavy Black Friday traffic near Toronto but I don’t think that was the full reason.
Also I didn’t realize the route I chose made so many random stops - it would have been nice to make this clear on the website.

This bus ride was a bit below my usual expectations, as I have been used to very friendly drivers. It dies make a difference when there is a bit of human communication beyond the announcement of the stop only.
The comfort in the bus was less, very cramped space. These type of buses may be better for a not fully booked ride. I prefer your other buses.
I arrived tired at my destination as a result.

I have used your services before, and my granddaughters have too. Very convenient locations, the driver today was very kind, helped me with my bags and going down the stairs.
Somebody drove me from Orleans to the bus pick up location, and there was a lot of traffic and construction, I was afraid I would miss the bus, is there a way to notify the driver, in the future if someone is a couple minutes late?
Thank you

Another great experience with Rider Express ! The driver today is super friendly and helpful, he greeted and helped every passenger place the luggage properly when we got on the bus and also helped us to take the luggage out when we arrived the destinations. He drove smoothly and safely, which made my 4.5 hr trip from Ottawa to Toronto very comfortable and didn’t seem long at all. I appreciate his service very much, and for sure I will ride with Rider Express again!

Although I login with my account credentials, every time I have to refill all my information again. It would be great if you can make the booking system easier. Thanks.

Company should look into changing their refund policy. The service and travel experience is amazing every time I travel.

The driver for my route Ottawa to Toronto was great. He drove safely and was helpful in loading luggages.
I had used F***b** coming and was told no break from Toronto to Ottawa. I was so happy rider express had a 15 minutes break because imagine 6 hours no break.
The bus was neat same with the

Just want to say Thank you for this service, stopping in Marmora, makes it convenient for a lot of people, including myself. The driver was on time and the bus is clean.
Just a quick question: the first time I took the bus in Sept, the bus rate for one way was around $33.00 plus tax. This time was $16.66 plus tax. Of course, I like the lower rate, but I just don’t what’s the difference in the way I booked, if the ride stops are exactly the same and the same time? Thank you.

The driver was absolutely excellent, kind and helpful to each customer. When I spilled my tea , he quickly cleaned it up and didn’t seem upset at all by my mess.
He gets 5 stars
However I have used rider express before and the bus was very clean.
On Oct 22, it had not been clean at all. The seats had crumbs and other dust on them as did the floor. To clean this by vacuuming would have taken ten minutes.
I would consider not taking this bus because of the lack of cleanliness

Bus was an hour late to destination from traffic out of Ottawa and passenger issues in Kingston. Bus was full and seemed to be issues finding sets for everyone as the there was some kind of problem with a seat being very dirty in the back where someone possibly threw up and didn't tell the driver at some point? It would have been impossible for him to know this. Was difficult for the driver to handle as he was the only staff on hand to try to handle this situation and still get moving when already late. Driver was great but the amount of people he was trying to manage on a long weekend alone was nearly impossible for the bus to stay on time. I've rode with Rider many time and this was the first time it was late and really busy with only one driver to handle everything. There is usually two people handling it out of Ottawa.

While the ride was comfortable and almost on scheduled time, there was something that I disliked strongly.
During several segments of the trip, the driver was texting on his phone. Specially at the beginning of the trip, in Ottawa. It was unnerving to see the driver text with one hand and drive with the other, and constantly switch where he was looking, from the road to his phone. This makes me not want to ride with this company again.
Also, the drop off spot in Scarborough was not the one that was specified on the ticket, so that created unnecessary confusion.

The price was right, but you get what you pay for. Bus was rather aged, completely full (I guess this is a good thing from your viewpoint), the lone washroom was out of service which isn’t ideal on a 5 hour ride. Boarding was a bit disorganized. Nevertheless the driver and all staff were very friendly and professional, and I felt safe travelling so can’t really ask for more over a holiday weekend for $40.00

Ottawa to Kingston
It was my first time taking Rider Express and I'm happy that along the route, it doesn't stop at any city to pick up passengers other than just travel from point A to B. I was on board this coach, don't recall the bus number but the bathroom doors needs a lock. The only way to determine in use is that is by the closed door but most of the time people will not knock before entering. At least put a sign saying that 'knock before you enter' if the door is closed.

Ottawa West to Belleville
Good driver, clean bus on time. I use your bus weekly to commute for work. Only issue is the lack of shelter against rain and cold at both the Belleville and Ottawa West stops. No problem in Summer but difficult in Winter. Is it possible to use the bus stop next to Belleville Walmart and in front of Bayshore shopping Centre in Ottawa West.

Great service overall. Was dismayed though by the fact that the bus driver kept the engine idling for the full 20 mins we were stopped in Kingston. I think it should be Rider policy to disallow idling. In certain municipalities you are indeed breaking the law doing so. In this climate emergency, emitting greenhouse gases unnecessarily through excessive idling, while emitting noxious fumes harmful to human health, needs to be banned.

At the Kanata Stop would be very helpful to have a rider bus sign where the bus picks us up. I appreciate the rider bus to Ottawa very much and have no complaints. But everyone is confused as to where they should be going for the pick up the rider bus at the Terry Fox OC transit stop in Kanata.

The only 2 issues I had were the bus being late (arriving at around 9:20 for a 9:10 departure). It would not have been so bothersome if there was shelter as it had been raining.
The ride was smooth and uneventful and got into Toronto earlier than scheduled, so overall a good experience.

Kanata to Marmora
It was a good ride as usual and the driver was polite as usual, but it seems a 10 minute stop has been added when arriving in Madoc at Tim Horton's. I get it - the driver needs a break and I am fine with that even though Madoc is just a few minutes from my final destination of Marmora and it delays me somewhat. However, yesterday we were perfectly on time and arrived in Madoc at 4:27 pm. The driver announced a 10 minute break - again, fine, as it would have still given us time to get to Marmora for scheduled arrival at 4:45 pm. However, a very inconsiderate woman decided to order pizza at Tim Horton's and the driver was kind enough to wait for her and we didn't leave until 4:51 pm - a full 24 minutes after arriving for a "10 minute" break. Unfortunately, without getting into specifics, this brought us to Marmora 15 minutes late, which caused me a considerable amount of discomfort and inconvenience. I think it would be best if the driver makes it very clear that the break is only 10 minutes and that he will not be waiting any longer, so it is advisable not to be ordering food, It seems unfair to inconvenience an entire bus load of people with the thoughtlessness of one passenger.

Excellent service from start to finish as a first time rider ⭐️ I appreciate the organization of the worker, who checked our tickets and maintained the line prior to getting on the coach bus. Our driver was respectful, kind, attentive with clear open communication. I arrived safely and early to my destination. I was pleased with the option to choose my own seats and was able to charge my phone easily. I’m not sure if wifi was available as I’ve used my phone data but I’m hopeful that is a service available by Rider Express. Coach was clean and comfortable. A garbage can was available by the front and someone was kind to collect our garbage at one point. Overall, super positive experience.
I look forward to my next ride. Little details matter and this was evident with Rider Express✨

Honestly I seldom share personal feedback but this time my experience at Rider Express worths it! Because it was a shuttle operating during the midnight, I managed to sleep through the whole journey peacefully. I seldom managed to do so on other shuttle couriers.
The inclination of the seats works perfect! The cushioning of the seats are comfy enough!
The leg room is wide enough!
The washroom is not as dirty as expected (from my previous traveling experiences on other couriers).
Usually, the WIFI and electrical plug on shuttles won’t work although it claims to be equipped with, on other couriers. But Rider Express gives an exception! Not sure about the WIFI (since I slept through my entire journey), but the electrical plug allows me to charge up so fast!
Surprisingly, I can be seated freely without a charge, which I was not restricted to a particular seat number, which was quite a flexible arrangement!
By the way, the driver is so polite, kind and nice helping us checking in and out by carrying my luggage.
I would recommend Rider Express to others and would book again next time.

Everything went well except that there was one passenger who was speaking loudly on the phone non stop in a foreign language. He did so for about 3 hours. Many passengers were looking at each other unhappy because they couldn't relax or sleep. Finally, I went up to him and told him that I had a migraine and to keep his voice low. Shortly thereafter, the bus driver spoke to him at one of the scheduled stops and told him that what he was doing was not permissible and to keep his phone conversations short. After this, that passenger stopped his non stop chatter and we all had peace! what do people talk about for hours on end anyway!!?!

The ride was absolutely seamless, smooth and we flew through the bits of traffic that we hit.
It was a super positive experience.
The trip did start with a bit of a delay, however (12 minutes), so it would have been preferable to reduce the set half hour break to maybe 15 or 20 minutes to keep on schedule, as I might have preferred.
But the trip was really peaceful and smooth, lots of space, and friendly riders.

Carleton Place to Toronto
It’s hard to give a good review on my trip from Ottawa to Toronto. The bus broke down on the 401 going to Toronto. We were stuck there for many hours. What bother me the most was knowing I would not get back to Hamilton until midnight.
I’m 74 year old women so it was a little bit scary being in the Toronto Union station that late at night. You just don’ t know what can happen at night when you’re by yourself. I made my connection to Hamilton, it was the last bus of the night..
I will give the bus driver a good review, he was great with everybody on the bus. He apologized many times on the problem with the bus. He couldn’t do any more. He was fantastic.
He arranged to have someone from Rider to pick up a few of us and drove us to out destination. He was a very friendly person which help me be ok. He even made sure I got into union station safe and sound. He was a gem.
He wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss my connection going to Hamilton bus station. I felt he went above and beyond.
I’m sure I will continue with travelling with Rider.. I just won’t travel late in the day. If the bus breaks down , it still will daylight.

Dear Rider Express Team,
I want to express my satisfaction with your service. I regularly take your bus from Ottawa to Toronto each week, and overall, I am pleased with the experience.
However, I have noticed a recurring issue with the toilet doors on your buses. In all of my experiences, when the bus turns, the door often swings open if the restroom is unoccupied. This can be a bit inconvenient and distracting until someone goes to close it.
I wanted to bring this to your attention, as it might be a minor adjustment that could improve the comfort and overall experience for passengers.
Thank you for your excellent service, and I look forward to continuing to travel with you.
Best regards,
Amir

Toilet door opened itself while I was peeing, and was slamming all the time during the ride. Overall it was great (a break of 15 min instead of 10 would be better too)

Bus was on time. Clean and everything in good working order, power, wifi, washroom. Driver was efficient and couteous. Some other passengers were using videos or talking on phone for long periods of time in spite of drivers announcement, very annoying. Great overall.

Ottawa to Perth
The trip was great, bus was clean and modern and the driver was amazing. I appreciated the frequent updates on my trip (it was delayed by 90 minutes). A note for improvement- I saw the bus arrive before the departure and it was clear there was an issue with the wheel. The bus didn't return and I got a notification about a 30 minute delay- I figured it was the wheel, but the notification said "traffic". From then it was 10-20 minute delay updates until it was 90 minutes late. If we knew it would be 90 minutes, we could have gone for shade vs sitting in the high heat. Also those booked with BusBud only got 2 notifications vs my 5- I booked direct.

The bus ride was excellent. The only drawback was that it wasn't clear where exactly the pick-up point in Kanata is located. We almost missed the bus because of this. A decent map of the Kanata pick-up point would be helpful.

I wondered why from Scarborough to Union station bus terminal takes 90mins. When we booked our bus tickets, we thought arriving at Union station at 11 pm was too late so it was far but we chose Scarborough at 9:30. On the way to Ottawa, from Union station to Scarborough it only took 30mins.

The trip was fine. We arrived 15 min earlier as well. The driver was polite. As always it got a bit cold in the bus due to the constant use of AC.

Pleased with the way an unexpected cancellation of the bus originally booked for was handled by Rider. Receiving a ticket for an alternative option as well as two other option to choose from was effective and smart. Unfortunately the bus arrived late in West Ottawa so we departed with an half hour delay already. However the driver did what was within his power to make up for delays managing other obstacles such as work in the road and a delayed passenger during one of the stop, and he did so gracefully. What could have been a stressful ride was a relatively smooth one. Thank you .

I always travel to Toronto from ottawa by rider express beforehand the service of this was very good but now not. I visit to Toronto for my classes and bus is always late to reach to Toronto the reaching time is 2:30 and it always reach at 3 or 3:30 as a result of this I always get late for my class also last time the driver was very rude with me which is not acceptable I request that you should improve your service

Good evening,
I really do enjoy riding with rider express, but since I have ridden with you guys ( 2 plus years now) the bus does too many stops. It used to be Ottawa to Kingston and then straight to Toronto. I also had my bus rescheduled last minute and it caused some issues on my end since I had a scheduled ride for my aunt to pick me up that wasn't too late because my aunts works the next day and now have to Uber. I couldn't take an earlier bus because I was working till 3. I understand things happen but hope that you take my thoughts into considerations for the future. Thank you

Every time the train inconveniences me, I use this bus service. It's been so great! I remember when it was first introduced and how well it developed over the years. By far my favourite bus service and I highly recommend it to everyone I know looking to travel budget friendly.
However, please implement rescheduling or being able to cancel your ticket. Unforseen events happen and it isn't convenient to have to miss a bus with no notice or no inability to reschedule for the next available one.
But keep up the good work! I promise you, no other bus service compares! I hope this service can continue to grow and have more hours available for travel!

I take Rider's Express Buses all the time (at least twice a month!) because I go to school in Ottawa but often need to come back to see my family in Toronto. Such reliable service, friendly drivers, comfortable trips. I really appreciate how frequent the buses are throughout the week. Best bus company :-) (better than Flix, Megabus, and all the rest 😉)

This is my third time taking Rider Express, I’m very satisfied! Bus is clean, driver is friendly, ride is smooth, arrived on time safe and sound.
I like Rider Express not only because they offer good service with reasonable price, they always address my opinion quickly and seriously. I had a small opinion in first ride,
they address quickly. I express satisfaction in second ride, they give me reward (voucher). I’m very happy and will continue to ride Rider Express.

Ride was smooth but my luggage was misplaced while driver would not help. Instead of trying to locate it, he first accused me instructing wrong, insisting me going to Union Station stop instead of off at Scarborough as indicated per my ticket. After argument he finally let me craw into “Union station luggage compartment “ to find it.
