This place is a good choice for getting around if you prefer to save money on driving and parking, especially in Boston and Logan Airport. I've used the bus for years on personal and business travel and it rarely disappoints. Comfortable coaches, friendly drivers, easy loading and unloading plus cheap parking - what's not to like?

I'm unsure why everyone has to wait inside for the train even on a beautiful sunny day. When asked if we could wait outside the cashier unhelpfully said "I'll call you when it's time to go the gate". This did not answer the question or provide an explanation and felt passive aggressive. Overall it feels like the whole system could be both simplified and improved by having a ticket machine. In general the system seems way too complicated with loads of staff here and on the train bossing everyone about. Boarding a train should be straightforward and not involve waiting by gates to board. It's supposed to be a better alternative to the plane not mimicking it.

The transit center was easily accessible and was very clean. They have a variety of vending machines for snacks. Their Quick-Trak kiosk was out of service at the time I visited. The video attached shows our train arriving at the station.

If you have to go anywhere and the Amtrak goes there, take it out of Portland. I commute to work in Wells each day. I'm painfully shy. I usually don't like public transportation at all. I absolutely love these people, and this station. Free wifi, free bad coffee, and lots of free smiles. Informative, helpful, and well maintained.

There are always lots of taxis waiting there, and there is also a city bus service called “the Metro” if you want to look that up. You could also walk, but it’s probably 2 miles.
