Regional and Intercity Bus\Rail Transportation

It is interesting, looking at the schedule, megabus is running 1 bus a day, 5 days a week (Thursday to Monday). The buses leave Ottawa at 10:30 AM and arrive in Toronto at 3:35 PM. The return journey leaves Toronto at 4:30 PM and arrives in Ottawa at 9:35 PM. There are two intermediary stops in Kingston and Scarborough.

The odd thing about this schedule is that either they are having the bus sit idle in Ottawa between runs or they are deadheading a bus to Ottawa. I guess it is possible that with COVID schedule reductions, they have extra equipment that isn't being used and they were able to hire a driver who lives in Ottawa (which could explain the 5 days a week).
