For some reason, whether it is bus or train, I always get tired between exit mile markers 40 and 95. Give or take some. (Or car).

Literature says Bolt bus fills 50 seats,and wifi, which I expected, allowing for a modecum od SOCIAL DISTANCINGand sime sort of entertainment on the trip. Wekk, no wifion yhe bus, bo explication, just no eifi... At the STOPS in Tacoma and Olympia , additional passengers entered. Enough to fill EVERY SEAT, thus over crowding the bus and NO SOCIAL DISTANCING of any sort, my legs were going numb from lack of movement ( i was ‘fortunate’ enough to uphave a 6 foot 6inch basketball player in the seat next to me.) before we arrived in Portland. the trip was horrible, and i eveb the time and place for departure in seattle is convenient doubt i will ever ride BoltBus again. I am very disappointed

Bus was an hour late due to engine trouble and the bus not wanting to start. It never reached final destination and they told me to walk or catch another bus.

Frequently Asked Questions

BoltBus FAQ

No. Bolt Bus does not provide food or beverages onboard. However, you are free to bring your personal food and beverages on your journey. Keep in mind to stock up on snacks and beverages beforehand. Also, note that alcohol is not permitted.

They recommend that you be at the pickup location at least 15 minutes prior to the set scheduled departure time. You are required to show up with your confirmation email if you acquired an online ticket. The email can either be electronic or printed. This confirmation will serve as the boarding clearance and therefore will need to be provided to the driver. 

Bolt Bus, like other services, demands customers to have government-issued identification and normally prefers that they submit a copy of their reservation.

Travelers will board the bus according to the specified boarding group. Travelers with special requirements will be the first to board, preceded by loyalty members, who will be preceded by passengers who booked tickets online. Any seat will be available as there are no reservations.

You are permitted to bring one piece of luggage plus two additional smaller bags aboard the bus. A carry-on bag must be portable enough to fit in the overhead compartment. 

It is advised that you label all of your luggage on the inside. This could include details like name, phone number, and address. This will ensure that if it might happen that a bag is accidentally left behind or lost, Boltbus can freely return it, as long as it is tagged.

They do not permit the carriage of any kind of weapon. They additionally prohibit the transport of dangerous products such as acids, weaponry, flammable liquids,  alcohol, compressed gases, guns, pyrotechnics, combustible materials, and other items of that sort.

Other than a certified companion animal as recognized by the Americans With Disabilities Act, no pets will be permitted to travel on BoltBus.

The buses offer Wi-Fi, however, they recommend that you download big files like films long in advance. You do want to run the risk of having unstable connections and not being able to watch a movie on the whole journey.

Regular 110-volt plug-ins are installed throughout the bus, close to the seats. You can plug in your compact DVD player, iPods, and laptop to make the journey more pleasurable. With a power outlet USB converter, you can charge both a computer and USB gadgets using the onboard power outlets.

Tickets are non-refundable and therefore only valid for journeys on the specified route and time. Upon your booked date of travel, you could use the ticket as a standby traveler on earlier or later itineraries from your ticketed start to your ticketed endpoint. Standby travelers will embark on a first-come, first-served approach and would only have a seat reservation on their booked schedule.

Travelers may use children's safety chairs on buses equipped with lap and shoulder straps. You need to reserve a seat and book a space for the child's safety seat. You should make certain that your kid seat is suitable to be used in a car and that it is utilized in line with the manufacturer's recommendations.

It is your obligation to use the lap and shoulder buckles available to fasten the kid chair to the bus seat. Regrettably, operators may not understand how your kid safety seat operates and will be unable to assist you. On some coaches, BoltBus may not supply lap and shoulder harnesses.
