Pros: The view ! Cons: Customer service - Spokane terminal. Tips: Suggestion is to take train if it is an option due to the delay in bus arrival. Many passengers were waiting for over 10+ hours for a bus to arrive without any accommodations such as hotel, food and other travel options.

Pros: I liked the fact that I was able to travel since driving long distance is becoming harder for me.the ride. Cons: The ride was in the rough side but ok. It would be nice to have a earlier time to ride the train. I had trouble carrying my things and had help in Pasco but not Spokane. A fellow passenger helped me. I'm disabled so was a bit of a challenge for me.pay. Tips: Pay attention to what's going on so you don't get left behind.
