I appreciate the input. I noticed that they charge an extra $3 for phone tickets! Do u know if I can I get tickets at the Albany transit depoe counter instead? Thank you so much.
I've used the bolt bus route between Albany and Portland several times. It's an easy journey, and drops you off at the north end of downtown. The area is safe enough, but I would recommend being a bit cautious as there are transient people roaming the area. Usually the trip takes the same time that it would by car.
