| - Okay, so I used to be a big fan of Megabus, but lately they've made me reconsider about going back to BoltBus. Thursday, Oct 30, I arrive at the bus terminal early to find out that the departure time was moved to an hour and fifteen minutes later. Of course, disappointed, I found a seat and waited. Bus arrived, passengers board, driver takes off and we get to the first corner and the engine shuts off. He restarts, we take off and get to the next stop sign and out goes the engine, again. He once again restarts the vehicle and gets underway until, you guessed it, at the traffic light, into the darkness hole we went. At this point, the driver announces that we will have to get another bus. What??? We're already late and the bus breaks down in downtown Toronto rush hour traffic? Good Grief! The new bus arrives about 30 minutes later and we all get to our destinations safely, albeit late as hell! So here's what my final "gripe" is: I believe that the bus was late because it was having challenges getting to Toronto in the first place. Would you not think that someone would make an executive decision and take the bus out of service so that there would not be a breakdown on the highway in the middle of nowhere? If Megabus is operating like this, with no apology or effort to woo their customers with an offer of appreciation and please come back deal, then why should I ride them? There are plenty of other metal carriages in the sea. So as the Rating description next to the stars says, "Meh. I've experienced better."
