Taking Megabus into Toronto is a really easy and affordable way to travel. I'll say it again, Megabus is a hit or miss with quality, but you can't beat the price! It's the "spirit" of busses. They'll get you where you asked to go. They'll be cheap. Quality is questionable! read more

I've never traveled in buses that was that poor in terms of quality. On a trip to Toronto, first bus was immobilized after the first stop because it started leaking oil. We had to wait half an hour for another bus to pick us up. Second bus starting making this horrible clanking noise, one hour before arrival, that gave me a huge headache. I know it's cheap, but I traveled in Eastern Europe for cheaper prices and with buses that were very comfortable. There must be a compromise between this and this crap. read more

Horrible experience - You'll get stuck in the Highway, & cust. service declines everything & hurries you off the phones. For Your Safety, Please go with the other coach companies, Megabus will break down in the middle of Snow storm, and then when you call the customer service, they will find every excuse in the books to decline you. Terrible bus experience and customer service experience. I was on a Mega Bus From Toronto Union Station to Ottawa On Dec. 26 2025. The Bus probably had no snow tires, it got stuck in Scarborough, we had to get Toronto Police big rigs to help us unstuck from the snow. There was no communications, and then it got stuck again in the 401, with no communication. Some people got off at Scarborough, because if the bus is sliding and getting stuck in the city, imagine when you're in the Boonies of the 401. The bus Arrived hours late to every destination. And then You call the Mega Bus toll free number, and they Look for every reason to decline you any kind of compensation or coupons. Very Cheap and unorganized company, Please for your own safety, avoid Mega Bus, go with the other providers. While we were stuck and sliding off road, there were other Coach buses passing us and they were well equipped with proper tires. read more

AVOID AT ALL COST! VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! Tried to change my ticket to something earlier as I was already at the station. I adjust it and the system bumps me to a station 24km away instead of the original station that I selected. came to fix it, the change is blocked. call customer service, apparently they have dismantled the entire call center. go to their website to open a ticket, a bot responds and I get no where. i go to their ticket office, the lady was so rude and instead of helping me forced me to buy a very expensive ticket, otherwise I would've been stranded. pay $110 on top of a hefty change of ticket fee. get on the bus, arrive over 2 hours late to my destination. if you are claiming to be a cheap transport provider, maybe reflect that on your prices. save yourself the hassle and get the train. a little more expensive but excellent customer service, 24/7 customer service line, comfortable seats and if things get delayed, they own up to their mistake and give you a 50% discount on next trip. read more

10 years ago i would rate 5 stars it was much low in price ($12) and more safe and on time. Yesterday i had a trip from Montreal to Toronto, The bus had a noisy chairs and stopped at Kingston for 15 min break, But it took more than one hours without any announcement and passengers were confused. UI supposed to be 9pm at the Union station but bus arrived Union at 11 pm at night I had another one hour to rich my home it was too late at the night was not safe to walk to get the bus so I needed to get an uber and I had stress until got home never get the Megabus again it was so expensive cost $85 and not a pleasant trip. read more

Not worth 1 star, but had to choose something ... Booked a bus for 4am departure in Kingston to Toronto. We had a flight to catch that afternoon. We were going to arrive at airport 5hrs in advance (due to limited bus service availability). We sat at the bus depot for 2.5hours. Driver never did arrive. On top of the $250 in bus tickets, we then had to pay for a uber to make it to the airport on time (another $480 expense). When we complained about the terrible service and lack of notice to its patrons; the company offered an insulting $10 credit to be used on their bus lines. Not per person nor per ticket .... $10 total. Basically they said 'thanks for the donation' and peaced out. Absolutely will NEVER use this Company as an option of travel. And I highly recommend you don't either. read more

DO NOT BOOK on MEGABUS! I was charged for 3 trips on the same booking and their complaints department dismissed my complaint as unfounded, so if you want to pay three times what is necessary do indeed book--but otherwise AVOID like the plague. read more

Megabus - Comfortable seats - Transportation Near Me

About 1.5 months ago, I took a bus from Montreal to Toronto for a 9am job interview. Supposed to arrive at 6.35am, but the bus had engine trouble and eventually arrived at 8:45am-too late. The return trip was also delayed by 1.5 hours, and both buses were dirty and smelly. Why mention this now? Yesterday, I traveled from Waterloo to Montreal with a stop exchange at Ottawa via different providers...both buses were perfectly on time! read more

Today Megabus made it VERY clear they do not care about their customers. Our 2-hour bus ride was delayed by 3 hours because they oversold their bus seats. So they literally profited off our stolen time. EDIT: turned out to be delayed by 5 hours! They tell you to "wait at the terminal in case it does come early" but it doesn't. So you can't walk around town, get a bite to eat, or anything - you have to sit/stand at a crowded terminal for three hours. THEN the bus driver boarding us made all these "jokes" about cutoffs because there were so many people looking to get on the bus. He joked that we wouldn't all fit. But we did. Then he said that it would "be a FULL bus" which it wasn't, but he led us to believe it would be packed. Then he attempted to "hype" the crowd? He said "we're finally going to get back to London, let me hear you say YEAH!" And we were all so tired and pissed off. Read the room, asshole, and apologize. We never got so much as an acknowledgement of the inconvenience, let alone an apology. I will never use them again. read more

Megabus is TRASH!!! Booked a day trip from London to Toronto for a Jays game. They cancelled the bus last minute. No refund, just an option to re book for "free"!! Next bus arrived in Toronto as the Jays games ends. No thanks!! Whole trip ruined. Lost bus ticket $$, Jays tickets $$, and a day off work $$ lost. Thanks for nothing Mega Scam. read more

The bus ran 1.5 hours late with no notification. The next bus came and left without us. This is a horrible bus option, this business should be shut down. Every customer service and staff member was unapologetic during this problem that ruined our day. Megabus is a Megamess. read more

Just awful. They changed the pick up location in London to a parking lot outside Canadian Tire. The lot is huge, and customer service REFUSES to specify where exactly the bus is supposed to stop. My 70 year old mother was waiting at this stop for 45 minutes. The bus arrived on the other side of the lot behind a building, where people couldn't see. Driver literally drove past my mom. Customer service refuses to refund, then similarly refused to clarify where the stop is supposed to be at this parking lot. Yeah, never again. read more

they cancelled our 9am, 5-hour bus ride with 2 hours notice. the next bus is at 2pm, which would make us hours late. i might not get to see deftones or SOAD live because of these assholes, do NOT buy, or at least have a backup in case they decide to screw u over read more

Megabus - the automated cancellation email in question, apparently due to "schedule changes" - Transportation Near Me

I did not have high expectations for the Megabus. I booked it with a group of friends because it was the cheapest option, and after reading the reviews I was worried that it was going to be horrible. Upon riding the Megabus I can confidently say that the Megabus was nothing like the many one-star reviews. Everything about the Megabus was great. It powered through a snowstorm to get us to and from our destination, demonstrating unmatched reliability, as every other mode of transportation was shut down. Even while driving through the snowstorm, I never felt nervous by the conditions. The drivers were the best I've had, ensuring that it was a smooth ride the entire trip. If there was an option to give six stars I would, the Megabus was truly unforgettable. read more

I would give this company 0/5 stars if I could. I used to book all my trips to Toronto with them, however the last 3 trips I booked with them have been cancelled last minute. They provide you with a link to "reschedule your bus" - but that link doesn't work. And then they don't issue you a refund. This has caused me to believe that they are unreliable and I will never book with them again. Hopes this helps read more

Megabus is very good at giving people garbage. I previously purchased a ticket from London to Toronto and the bus got cancelled. They gave us the cancellation notice a solid 16h after the bus was supposed to leave. Since I had to get back the day of, I could only buy another bus ticket that had jacked-up prices. So they stole $20 from me and wasted 2 hours of my time. Thanks megabus. Greatly appreciated. read more

Absolutely terrible experience - bus driver shouting at clients waiting in line collecting suitcases. Later, she put our suitcases carelessly into a dirty luggage room making them very dirty and scratching/damaging also my suitcase. Driver badly dressed and behaving even worse. Totally unprofessional. Avoid and book FLIXbus. (Niagara Falls - Toronto, June 13, departure at 12:00). read more

Story from Toronto. Took Megabus a few years ago and it was ok, so I thought I'd try again. BIG MISTAKE. When i opened their website the ticket said $30. I opened another window to check another price, and when i came back to the Megabus window 2 minutes later it refreshed and the price was now $35. Weird but fine, I'm buying last-minute. The new terminal they leave from is convenient for buses to get to but terrible for human beings to get to. I managed to arrive a minute or two before my bus, only to find the gate locked and no reps on my side to talk to. I banged on the door as my bus driver walked slowly by, looked at me, then continued to stroll slowly around the bus. I ran to a security guard who told me 'gates are shut, try the Megabus desk'. As I waited in line for the one customer service rep, my bus drove away. I was told that 'it's like an airport, once the gate is shut you're out of luck'. What the hell? Why would a bus station need to be run like an airport???? When I got to the desk, the rep hand-wrote a note to the driver to let him know I was on standby. "He'll know what it means." Umm, what?? I was told that I can wait 2 hours for the next bus and IF there's a seat available they would take me. If I wanted to guarantee a seat on that bus, you guessed it, I would have to buy another ticket. What a stinking pile of garbage service. I will never be taking Megabus again, and I will be making sure to tell everyone I know not to waste their money and time. Go Transit and Via Rail both provide far superior customer service and vehicles at a better price. read more

40 dollars for one extra bag? What an absolute shame. You deserve to go bankrupt. Would absolutely NOT recommend. And all for a bus where a thin person won't even fit. read more

I was on the overnight trip from Montreal to Toronto Saturday, March 22, and there was no heat on the upper floor the entire time. Someone came to check it out while we were stopped in Kingston, but nothing came from that. It was just hours of sitting there uncomfortably cold. It was too cold to sleep. And the charging dock wasn't working either, so my phone was dead by the time I arrived at my destination. read more

Everyone always talks about how awful the Mega Bus is, but it was truly one of the best public transportation experiences of my life. Through thick and thin the Mega Bus has your back. We expected to face a horrible 7.5 hour journey to Montreal from Toronto based on the reviews, but we were greatly surprised as the journey was problem free. While our trip there was delayed, it was nothing to fault Mega Bus for, in a snowstorm, they got us to Montreal safe and sound, slowing the journey for our safety. Clean and safe, the Mega Bus allows for stress free travel. This journey was Mega GREAT. read more

You absolutely cannot beat the prices of tickets when they are first released. They go up as the travel date gets closer, so be sure to check and see if Via Rail or another bus service is cheaper if you are not getting tickets right away. The seats are surprisingly comfortable. You are able to pick where you would like to sit. Spots tend to fill up fast, so arrive early if you are travelling with someone and want to sit together. The bathrooms on board are standard as far as space and cleanliness, but when you are on the road almost anything will do. Sometimes there are delays, but as a frequent traveller I do not find that this happens any more frequently than with any other method of transportation. read more

MegaBus from Toronto to Montreal... was an OLD COACH CANADA BUS. This bus was old, outdated, ripped seats, no shocks felt like an old tank...NO CHARGING DOCKS!! And ran 2 hours late. Very disappointing. I'm sure a school bus would have been more comfortable. This trip should have been DISCOUNTED not more. If I had known, I would have taken the TRAIN. NOT IMPRESSED!!!! read more

Deciding not to go on a tour to see Niagara Falls, my husband and I had to figure our how to get to Niagara Falls on our own. As neither of us drives, renting a car was not an option, so we opted for Megabus, which seemed like a reliable choice. The drive between Toronto and Niagara Falls is about two hours, and the cost of two round-trip tickets were $80+ tax (ie. $20 for one one-way ticket). While not cheap, it's not excessively expensive either, and if you think about it, you're paying $10 per hour, per person. Quite reasonable, in my opinion. You could also pay an extra fee for "assigned seating", which we didn't do, and after taking Megabus, there is absolutely no reason to pay for assigned seating -- just make sure you get there early in order to grab a seat with your travel partner. (Due to COVID, many seats were blocked off.) The pick up and drop off locations for the Toronto/Niagara Falls route was the bus depot at Union Station in Toronto (which was convenient for us, as our hotel was across from Union Station, although the bus depot was at the back of the station, so it took a good 15 or so minutes to get to the bus depot) and the Niagara Falls bus depot, with two brief stops in Grimsby and St Catherine's. No complaints about the bus ride -- while nothing outstanding, there were no complaints, and it was a pretty comfortable ride. However, one thing that would be nice are earlier and later departures. In addition to debating whether we should go to Niagara Falls with a tour, we were also deciding whether we should spend the night. The main reason we decided against a tour was we wanted to spend more than three or four hours at Niagara Falls, but looking at the Megabus schedule, if we wanted to return the same day, we wouldn't get much more time. The departures from Toronto were 9:30am, 12:30am, and 4:30pm, arriving in Niagara Falls two hours later, and the departure times from Niagara Falls were also 9:30am, 12:30am, and 4:30pm. So if we didn't want to spend the night, the earliest we'd arrive in Niagara Falls is 11:30am, and the latest we could depart is 4:30pm, and taking into account the 30 or so minutes we'd need to get to and from the station in Niagara Falls (the station is not actually that close to the falls -- while it's a quick drive, it's about a 40 minute walk, and if you take a cab/Uber, you have to factor in the wait time), that really only leaves noon to 4pm, at the most. It would have been nice if there were an early morning departure from Toronto and an evening departure from Niagara Falls, although maybe they don't offer that due to rush hour. All in all, if you want to travel between Toronto and Niagara Falls and driving is not an option, then Megabus is a reliable choice. It's nothing special, but it will get you there.

Megabus Jacked the price of a trip by 300% its a bullshit maneuver and they've lost a customer for life. Their terrible policies, and poor logistical ideas will catch up with them when they go bankrupt like Greyhound. Its a real shame because I don't drive and really don't have much options for getting around to various places but options or not I'm done with Megabus. I actually enjoy getting places by bus and train but it don't feel good when you know someone has just scammed the shit out of you. If you are new to bussing around, please don't use Megabus to do it- it is likely to turn you off to bus-based transportation, and it is not representative of bus-based transport overall. Overall -- don't megabits. Oh yea the specifics they charged me 400% the cost of my ticket to step on a bus with 90% of its seats empty. I'm picturing the CEO rubbing his twonies together like his name is Martin Shrkeli - that shmarmy Pharma bro loud. read more

Worst buss after flux buss, So I'm now in the buss trying to hold my self.

terrible experiencie. The bus was overbooked and they just left me with 15 more people in the bus terminal. The people that work there are also very unpleasan. read more

The bus is advertised as a luxury bus, with wifi and plug outlets. No wifi no plugs. The bathroom is a hole with a toilet seat. No flushing no sink. No overhead to put a carryon. Very limited legroom. I paid $10 extra for "special seating" .The bus's shocks or springs are gone. They need to retire some busses and update the ones they have. On the positive side everyone I dealt with was courteous and knowledgeable. read more

Look elsewhere. Waste of money, not wheelchair accessible as claims and ridiculously priced.

We purchased bus tickets for Niagara Falls at the Megabus ticket counter at the bus stations. The price was one way for $75. OO (CAD) for two persons. We would have bought FLEX BUS tickets on line which is the only way to buy FLEX BUS Tickets at a much lower cost. In hindsight I definitely would buy FLEX BUS Tickets to Niagara Falls than pay for this inflated fare. The bus is OK, spacious, not many people on board, had plug outlet for charging, had overhead bins and the nice employees took our luggage to be put onboard the bus. The bus had two stops before Niagara Falls bus station, St Catherine's and Brock University. No seat belts on this bus! The bus driver never made any announcements except for the stops. He did get us to our destination though. So no problem with the ride and it left on time from the station. read more

Hello, Complete garbage, I've been taking them on and off for the last 20 years .. to save a few bucks when tain too expensive . Ive always been late but I never complained , I understand that they can't predict traffic. Last Friday I was stuck for an hour and half at the layover in Kingston on the way to Toronto due to bus driver replacement being late. Shows up late and starts being rude to everyone.. goes to see me in the middle of the parking lot about 20-30meters away from Any entrance while I'm vaping to tell me to get away from him im polluting his air. Threatens me to not let me on bus... any further I'd be on the other side of the street. If I didn't need to get to toronto I could've said something but I shut my mouth and just walked away. He keeps on spewing garbage at me after showing up almost 2h late(for no reason, I'm polite and I follow rules as much as possible). I get to Scarborough and the luggage guy put my stuff under the luggage for Toronto (not the end of the world), again same bus driver gives me Shit and is suggesting I go pick It up at the next stop in Toronto. I asked for a refund and customer service completely neglected the whole message I sent them And said the bus left on time and I'm Not eligible for a Refund. I couldn't care less we were Late. I can't believe how rude they can be. Never again. if I could swear on here I would. *@%#% them read more

first time I used this service we sat and waited for a person for 45 mins after the scheduled departure time that didn't show up and then when we got onto the 401 the person called to say they were ready to be picked up and dispatch made the driver turn around and go back to the airport and pick the person up which made us over 2 hrs late getting home. the second time I used the service the driver wasn't trained and didn't know he had to push the overdrive button on the transmission so drove from Kingston to Port Hope in 3rd gear and had to sit in a parking lot with a overheated transmission and call and waste time to talk to dispatch to solve the problem the third time I used the service we did 2 unscheduled stops in a snow storm driving through residential streets to pick up other workers that worked for megabus making us 1 1/2 hrs late getting home do not use this service unless you don't care about what time you arrive at your destination this is my last time read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE experience!!!!September 2, 2020 3:05 PM at Kingston bus station from Toronto. Via Rail was full. My sisters and I decided to take the bus as we were going to bury our mother in Montreal. From Toronto to Kingston we slept as we have been stressed and in despair. The bus ride from Toronto to Kingston was pleasant and relaxing. The driver was friendly and had great customer service with a smile. As soon as we pulled into Kingston station Sept 2nd at 3:05pm passengers were leaving the bus we had 10 minutes to spare I decided to stretch my legs in the aisle. As soon as the second driver an Eastern European male began his shift he looked at myself and my two sisters(women of color)and he addressed the three of us to our face in the aisle of the bus and says :We can't sit together because we are not family? (How does he know we are not family) Meanwhile we've been sitting together the whole ride down.. he was very aggressive with his tone. It was myself my two sisters an Indian son and mother a white woman and a brown woman sitting in the lower level of the bus all witnessing his behavior. We tried to explain to him that we are family and we've been sitting here the whole trip. He then says to us : Now listen to me I am talking!!!!! Now listen to me I am talking!!! (WTH) our eyes popped out of our heads... He was addressing us like we were children his tone his demeanor was so disrespectful and shocking...Then he also has the nerve to tell us...there's no laughing and there's no talking and no walking up and down the aisle of the bus? No laughing/ No Talking????!!! What?????? We're on a damn bus...We're the hell are we?? We are three grown professional women two of my sisters are lawyers and I work in healthcare. My sister speaks up and says Sir...we are not in the mood to laugh as we are going to bury our dead mother. He then changes his demeanor and says that he buried his mom three years ago so he knows how we feel. Meanwhile as he's addressing us he's NOT EVEN WEARING A MASK!!! As a Canadian woman honestly I have never been racially profiled in my life and we are all shocked and disgusted by his behavior AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. Definitely racially profiled us as I have witnesses from the white woman and the young brown lady that was sitting in the back as they all witnessed everything we witnessed. We all got together at the end of the bus ride and spoke about this drivers behavior and racial profiling and we are disgusted!! We have there info and emails if needed.. I called mega bus and spoke to a manager and she was rude I guess not surprising. Shaking my head... So if you're taking a bus from Toronto to Kingston and there's a Eastern European bus driver who goes over the loudspeaker as we found out as we picked up my aunt two days later... this driver actually goes on the loudspeaker and tells people they can't talk and they can't laugh. She was on the lower level he never addressed her face-to-face. But he felt it was his duty to address three women of color sitting together minding their own business. Still makes my blood boil and I tell everyone I know MEGA BUS is terrible!! Customer service even worse. And watch out for the eastern European man at Kingston station 3:05 PM shift!! Asshole!!! And if he addresses the whole bus and says you can't laugh or talk mention this in your next review!!! WORST TRIP OF MY LIFE!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have been riding the megabus for a couple years and it has slowly deteriorated. Ticket prices go up on important dates because they like to scalp students and their fees are ridiculous. Don't try to use their customer service because they will charge you more for calling. There are frivoulous fees on top of the ridiculous cost that they ask you to pay for what is a very low cost service. You certainly wont get money back for late buses or those that literally drop you off at a different location where you have to walk a mile with a 50lb suitcase, but they will of course make you pay the most ridiculous amount for any little mistake you make such as 10$ including fees to change your reservation no matter how far in advance. read more

Dear Sabrina, the "manager" of customer service someone. May karma befall on you and your children, same one you put on my child. This is a caring mother that tried to make you understand that one of your employees send my child to a wrong bus location and in turn he missed his bus that was taking him to an important medical appointment. All we needed is to use same amount or pay the difference to get on another bus to make it to his destination. Trust me, when you in this situation one day, you will think of me. PS: I hope you don't have children because you would make a terrible mother! read more

Took an overnight bus from Toronto to New York city because I was trying to be economical. So not worth it. The ticket clearly said arrival was for 10:30AM, the bus driver berated everyone who questioned his ability to make it on time over the PA system and claimed the arrival time was supposed to be 1:30PM. We didn't arrive until close to 2:45/3PM anyway. 15.5 hours total. Driver on the American side was rude AF. Wifi was shoddy at best. Air was dryer than on an Airplane. If you think it'd be possible to sleep on an overnight bus forget it. Driver turns on all the lights, shouts over the PA system and the doors open to the frigid cold every couple of hours. Never again. Maybe a Greyhound next time. read more
