I wanted to take AmTrak, but it doesn't really work with my schedule

Then Uber from someplace way closer

Oh Amtrak is real nice. Nicest way really

I promised myself I would never take Greyhound again after experiencing AmTrak, but I might just have to do Greyhound since I'm on a tight schedule

I suggest taking off work and taking the train

I'm in school unfortunately

Alright take off school

I'm already skipping one day

So what's another day?

I would just take the greyhound

Look at the Kavanaugh thing, they're delaying that for months

Well, it's not so much that, it's that the AmTrack comes after midnight when I have class in the morning, and if I get there that late, I won't be able to take the bus from the AmTrak station to my rural area.

I guess I could take AmTrak plus Uber

>Not taking Bolt Bus

Yeah Amtrak + Uber makes sense

A lot of taxis will hang around train stations waiting for people to get off too

Bolt Bus isn't available

shit, uber costs $33 from the station to my house

might be worth it though

I could probably cut my cost significantly by using Lyft instead, and using the rideshare

Yeah, I'm basically with you that I would never take a bus again I did that through grad school to save tens of dollars, what a waste of discomfort

People go from Spokane to Cheney all the time, so there's a good chance they'll find someone to share the ride with

AmTrak is like $10 more expensive than a bus and orders of magnitude more enjoyable. So worth it.

Damn dude... Is there a server for NW forum itself? I am sure some huwytes would love to help you over there

After all, this is all about networking and supporting and growing

No server, but there's 3 IE guys in Spokane, all of which either can't make it or are undecided

Oof

This one is a bit harder than most forums since it's on the literal other side of the state

Not regular Western Washington, but the peninsula

Ah, crap.

I guess this is my plan if none of the Spokane guys end up going:

Bus to Spokane
AmTrak to Seattle
Carpool with one of the Seattle guys to the peninsula
Carpool back to Seattle
AmTrak to Spokane
Uber home

Or I could suck it up and just deal with the Greyhound and not have to worry about the Uber. Probably the best idea, since I don't exactly have money to waste.

but... greyhound...

I've survived it in the past

ok, gl on your trip

Thanks. Hopefully one of the Spokane guys decides to go, but, if not, this is what I'm gonna have to do.

Greyhound is truly an adventure in adversity/diversity. I went from OKC to Duluth once. Rough. 24 hours. (in a single car it takes 14 without breaks).

They push their drivers too hard.

It's a safety issue.

The bus is bad, but the stations are where the wildlife come out.
Also, some less scrupulous public service and legal structures will put the mentally ill or homeless onto buses just to physically remove them, so to speak.
