Quick Shuttle (Econo)

The driver was excellent very informative and professional. They took the time to instruct passengers on important details, constantly updating us on the route and estimated time of arrival. Additionally, they carefully explained the amenities available on the bus, ensuring everyone was well-informed and comfortable throughout the ride. Overall, it was a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable trip. Highly recommend! Cons: It would be a nice touch if there were more snack or drink options available for passengers during the journey.

Quick Shuttle (Econo)

Pros: The ease and comfort of the bus ride from Vancouver to Seattle was a big highlight. The seats were spacious and comfortable, and having Wi-Fi and power outlets made it easy to either relax or stay productive. The journey itself was scenic, passing through beautiful landscapes that added to the enjoyment. The check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly, which made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. Cons: While the trip was mostly smooth, the customs stop at the border can take some time, and the delay can be unpredictable. It would be great if there was more guidance on how long it might take or tips to help expedite the process for those who aren’t familiar with it. Additionally, while the onboard restroom was convenient, it could have been better maintained during the journey. Tips: Bring a Passport: It’s essential for crossing the border, and having it ready when you arrive at customs can save you some time. Arrive Early: Aim to arrive 15-20 minutes before departure to find a good seat and settle in. Pack Snacks & Water: While there are often rest stops, having snacks and drinks on hand makes the trip more comfortable, especially if there are any delays at customs. Dress Comfortably: Buses can be cool, so having a light sweater or travel blanket could make the journey cozier.

Amtrak Thruway

Pros: It was fast and on time. I had a little interaction with another traveler that had two seat and when we came back from customs I sat on the empty seat and she told me it was hers because she always pays for two seats. Is that true do customers pay for two seats? I was going to approach the driver but I didn't want to make a scene so I moved. Needless to say I was very disappointed. Cons: To have wifi password visible when you are on the bus and perhaps the drivers should be consistent with their information to the customers. Tips: Just be kind.
