Ottawa… are replacement service buses always so easy to get on?

I was shocked that the R2 had a lot of space for people. It would have been extra-sardine class in Montréal.

Ottawa… est-ce que les bus du service provisoire de surface sont toujours aussi faciles à embarquer dedans?

J’ai été choqué que le R2 ait autant de place. Ça l’aurait été la classe extra-sardine à Montréal
