Cancelled bus schedule at the last minute

My bus trip through Jaguaride from Montreal to Quebec City was cancelled at the last minute. I guess that's what you get for paying low price. And I ended up paying a lot more on the spot to take an alternative transportation.
So yeah, beware of these fly-by-night companies and save yourself a ton of headache.
