Amtrak San Luis Obispo Los Angeles recent customer reviews
Overall, everything worked. I ordered a bus ticket, the bus was on time, I got where I had to be. BUT...the bus was old, the seats were dirty and very uncomfortable and the ride was very rough. It felt like the bus had no shock absorbers of any kind. By now, I would have thought bus suspension technology existed to make for a comfortable bus ride. Maybe it does exist, but Amtrak won't upgrade their bus fleet.
