BoltBus
Pros: The Boltbus price just can't be beat. Nothing fancy, just point A to point B transportation that was efficient and well organized. The driver was direct and informative. The stop at the US Border was thorough and smooth. Thank you, Boltbus for incredible value for dollars spent. Cons: Wi-fi just didn't work well. Bolt TV is not operating. Perhaps clear that option off your website and user login pages. Tips: Definitely recommend for quick, budget-friendly travel.

BoltBus
Pros: It was cheap, fast and easy. We arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule. I was thrilled. The bus driver was very kind. Cons: The seats are in terrible condition. They are torn and mine has partially unhinged so that it rocked every time the person next to me moved or the bus driver breaker. Tips: Don’t expect luxury.

City Information

Vancouver

CAVAC-0CAVAC-1CAVAC-2

Vancouver is a trendy diverse city in British Columbia, known for its eclectic shopping, fresh seafood, and unique scenic setting between snow-capped mountains and urban beaches. Vancouver is sometimes called “Hollywood North” due to the amount of films and TV shows filmed in the area. If you're lucky, you may even stumble upon a film set as you're walking around town!

If you're looking for the best restaurants, shops and nightlife, cobblestoned Gastown is the perfect neighbourhood to explore. Biking around the gorgeous Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver is rivaled only by hiking and skiing on nearby Grouse Mountain, which offers stunning views of the city on clear days.

Vancouver International Airport is conveniently close to downtown, and also one of the biggest gateways for international travel on the West Coast of North America.

Bellingham

Bellingham, WA, US - BLH-0

Bellingham is a scenic coastal city nestled between Mount Baker and the Puget Sound in Washington State. Its waterfront port is the launch point for fishing trips, leisure boating, and cruises to Alaska — a convenient starting point, since the city is only 25 miles south of the Canadian border. Sprawling Whatcom Falls Park showcases the best of the Northwest's natural forested beauty, one of the features that make Bellingham a top Washington destination. Plus, it's only a short drive to the #1 most instagrammable National Park, North Cascades National Park.

Kiddos will light up when they visit the SPARK Museum of Electrical Inventions, home to hands-on science exhibits and live demonstrations. If you're travelling without kids, prepare to hit up Bellingham's brewery scene. Bars, wineries, cideries, and more fine establishments offer quality drinks at prices that still lure students from local Western Washington University. Find some of the best restaurants and shops in the Fairhaven Historic District, distinctive for its Victorian architecture and views over Bellingham Bay.

FlixBus, Quick Shuttle, and Amtrak Thruway coaches connect Bellingham to major cities in the Northwest like Seattle. Ambitious travellers can even travel to Bellingham by coach from Minneapolis!
