Now that regular Tunnelbus Service has ended, it's now time to try out the next best thing, Flixbus across the border from Windsor to Detroit! It was *only* an hour late and took an hour to make it across! For double the time and price of Tunnelbus! 🥴

That seems really low to the ground for a coach. Did it kneel like a transit bus or something?

There's enough distance from the front of the first axle to the front of the coach that they can park it over a curb and make boarding it way easier and they barely have to lower it.

Yeah np! I prefer these over the step boxes (or none at all) that are provided at older Greyhound Stations because you're less likely to miss a step and break your ankle if you fall from there.

They could add these to other stations but that means busting up concrete and messing up with stations for a long while and that's not worth it.

The Temsa TS45 was nice, our driver was very direct and concise about his job, and the seats were more comfortable than what's in a Novabus. But it cost more, was vastly slower, less frequent (4rts a day), and dropped me off in a way more inconvenient location!
