This driver is just horrible. Had him twice. Power tripping wannabe border guard. Just so unnecessary. Showed up late for departure too, delaying the bus by 10 minutes.

My initial bus got cancelled so i rebooked. That bus journey also got cancelled, a few hours before i was scheduled to leave

I was originally scheduled for the Friday bus and had to cancel and make it for the day before (Thursday) I completed the arrangements and when I got to the bus station the Thursday bus was cancelled without any direct contact to me. Im afraid I am still being charged for the Friday bus even though I cancelled and scheduled for Thursday.

The driver was very clear with instructions and very helpful with luggage. Extremely polite

The bus was right on time. Barry the driver, handled our luggage professionally, and skillfully made his way through Vancouver’s streets. He warned us about the delays at the border crossing . The crossing went smoothly. I felt that the bus company provided good value. I would use it again to go to Bellingham airport. I wish it made a stop in Burlington or Mount Vernon.

Rich T.

August 19, 2024

The driver was excellent. However, there was a group that missed the pickup time and we were delayed about 30 minutes waiting for them. Many passengers were concerned that we would miss flight times as a result. Maybe the company policy should be to not wait on a few when it makes a full bus late. The driver diligently made up some time but it was close.

Amtrak staff was friendly and professional. But I didn't passed through border officers.

Zbigniew M.

December 11, 2024

I will NEVER buy another ticket for Amtrak again and will ONLY be going via bus. They closed the gate at 6.55 (5mins earlier than allowed - 7.00am is cut off) and refused to let me get my train at 7.15am. 0 help from staff - "there is nothing we can do - that's their decision to close the doors early if they choose" And I was left without any help.
