Bus Travel Tips
Make friends with the driver. They usually know a lot about your destination and may even recommend which side of the bus to sit on to get the best views on the road between San Francisco and Portland!
Start sightseeing the minute your bus leaves the station. If you're on the night bus from San Francisco to Portland, get comfy and count the stars.
Buses have the smallest carbon footprint of all motorized transport modes. A bus going from San Francisco to Portland will emit half the CO2 emitted by a train, and radically less than a car or an airplane.
Make a music playlist for your bus ride from San Francisco to Portland, and enjoy the scenery to tunes from your own personal soundtrack.
