The driver was the worst. He wanted people to not use bathrooms at the border check. He wanted passengers to use the bus bathroom whose door did not lock and the light was broken. His behavior was terrible. He himself took food and bathroom breaks which caused delays

Train was taken in Seattle to PDX, staff almost nonexistent, washrooms filthy. Train, comfortable seating, swift and easy. Feels like with more staff and $ investment in all amenities it could be fun!
