What bus/service is that? The bus interior actually looks good!

That is the ONR Bus service.

My photos are absolutely terrible, but enjoy some trips shot from a bus!

The tunnel to the mall being closed at North Bay station really sucked as I was hoping to grab lunch, but the station reno is very nice!
Outlets didn't work on some of the busses though as well as the station :/

Hopefully the heating works, as I never was able to find a "GO Booth" in the GTA where it worked.

Neat to see the clear Metrolinx influence on Ontario Northland with this station signs.

It is Northland as somebody mentioned, the fun of travelling with them is aside from outlets and Wi-Fi. The buses are not standardized at all.

A lot of them were just purchased from whichever coach company was unloading buses at the time

Some have a wheelchair lift some don’t. The one I went on with a wheelchair lift actually had seats in the area where we lift would bring you up to

That's normal for highway coaches. Those seats are mounted on a set of rails, and will slide forwards or backwards in order to create clearance for a wheelchair to be parked.

You would think that a provincial transit agency would procure all buses with wheel chair lifts.

One problem they faced was the government's mandate to significantly expand their routes in the wake of Greyhound's exit. I don't think they had a lot of time to do a large strategic purchase. Prior to 2018, I don't think they operated west of Sudbury.

How many highway coach manufacturers even offer a lift as a non-custom option?

Wasn't there some backslash about going to Temsa for buses when MCI and Prevost are locally made? I don't know if they were leased but we don't see them anymore which means either they were returned or didn't last in our harsh environment (duh).
