susandennisI just finished making pre-paid reservations for a quick trip to Vancouver September 12-13. My first ever BFF and at least one friend from high school (and maybe more) are going to be there for a couple of days before they go up to spend a week at Whistler. They arrive on Wednesday afternoon.
I'm taking the Bolt bus up and will get there just after they do. Then I'll take the Bolt bus back home the next evening. Bolt bus has free wifi and cost me $20 round trip. Reviews of the ride says there are better and there are worse ways to get there but for that price, I'm willing to gamble. Plus the schedule is way better than the train for me for this trip.
The Bolt bus leaves from just across the parking lot from here so it's quite handy.
Should be a fun little adventure. And if it's not, it will be quick. And I can do it with a small backpack. My kind of trip.

I understand Bolt Bus is essentially the very same concept as the MegaBus Shobhit and I took to Philadelphia from New York -- which I suspect you'll enjoy, as they are double deckers with seats at the front just like the ones we sat in when we took the double decker up north. I was pretty excited to hear a similar company was coming to Seattle. I'll look forward to hearing how you like it.
In my experience with MegaBus, I'd certainly agree there are both better and worse ways to travel -- but for that price, you can't do much better and you can do way worse.
