Staff at Tacoma not even sure will the bus come since she had tried her very best to locate the bus on her App.. We waited for long time staff ended up called the corporate said it should be coming but late for 4 hours. TERRIBLE!! We ended up arrived Vancouver at around 2am.

1. Bus station was closed and bus was 1 hour late, I had to call to the main office to find out. Also the bus supposed to go directly to Vancouver, but I had to change the bus at Seattle and wait another 1 hour and half there. If that case, I wanted to text message to update. 2. Wifi in the bus didn’t work.
