Confusing, at best. Couldn’t find luggage as if it had been shuffled. During our bathroom break the bus nearly pulled away because I was last in line to go:

The ride was fine but the cabin was way too warm. There was very little air flow and no independent air blowers above the seats worked.

My first experience with the Bolt Bus...plan to use it in the future and to recommend it to friends and family.
5 out of 5 stars
Billie G.
At the station in Portland the bus I was informed that the bus was going to be 2 hours late. This would mean I would miss my train in Seattle. I had to book a later bus for my ongoing journey and cancel the train reservation. The bus then appeared on time, had I known this it would have saved a lot of trouble. Very unsatisfactory!
1 out of 5 stars
Julie V.
My bus was two hours late, which was extremely inconvenient. The entire bus also stank of urine for the entire duration of the trip (3.5 hours)
Users generally had a positive experience with the train service, appreciating the smooth boarding process and open seating. The scenic views along the journey were also highlighted as enjoyable. However, some feedback mentioned limited food options at stations and suggested improvements for table usage time in food courts to enhance customer convenience.
Amtrak Portland Seattle recent customer reviews
I enjoyed the sceneries along the way. My impression of the train is old system. Unlikely of Tokyo. Perhaps upgrade is better.
4 out of 5 stars
Chelie T.
I don't use short distance train travel much so in my general review everything was fine. Open seating I do like. Boarding was not hard for my needs. Onboard was smooth too.
4 out of 5 stars
Jeffrey K.
They cancelled the train so we got put onto a bus that was very uncomfortable. There wasn't enough space for my backpack above so I ended up holding it in my lap which killed my legs. It also took about 30-40 minutes longer.
