It could have more info about the customs process at the border and where we would meet the driver. Also, the seats were not very comfortable.

Cons
More information about what’s required to travel across border to USA and what to consider before traveling (such as what to declare and what can someone bring in their luggage)
Tips
Try arriving one hour before your bus departure, this will allow plenty of time to see where bus departures and get some breakfast at A&W

The WIFI was very weak this has to improve.

The bus is little old so the seats are not comfortable this could be improved either by renovating the seats or having better buses.

Pros
On time, comfortable, and friendly driver.
Cons
There should definitely be seatbelts on the coaches. This wouldn't cost much to add and would dramatically improve safety.

Seat could be reclined, driver provided instructions when needed, bus made it to Seattle almost on time even though we spent 1 hour at the border.
