    Bustitution accessibility #11(11/21)

    I was notified my trip home for Thanksgiving will involve a bus Salem to Eugene. I called and asked for a lift equipped bus. This was interesting as the agent thought the platform lifts for trains would work on a bus. Eventually we got straight that the bus needed its own lift. Now I am booked...

    Checking baggage on late train

    I got on the 14 (9/10) in Martinez. Since I knew it the train was sitting motionless south of San Jose for a long time I did not arrive at the station until 1 am. The station agent was very reluctant to check my bag. He informed me in the future I need to check my bag before scheduled departure...

I could sleep in this seat. Superliner seats on the other hand are torture devices. They provide no support especially...

    Using the lift

    How does it work? I am taking Cascades from SLM to PDX weekly. I took my first trip today. I can get on/off in SLM without assistance but I cannot safely take the extra step on/off at PDX. Who do I tell I need the lift? What type of lift is it? The first time I ever requested the lift elsewhere...

    Oversold

    When I got on the 11 (southbound CS) at Salem on the 19th it was so overbooked they were sending people to the diner because the SSL was already full. The situation seemed to resolve itself in Eugene but some individual passengers seemed to be forgotten. They did not have coach seats and would...
