My review for Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is pretty much the same as the one I wrote for…read moreEvergreen Point Freeway Station as both stations serve the same purpose. This station is the 2nd to last Eastside stop before you head onto SR 520 so it is basically a transfer point. A lot of buses from places like Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville make stops here before crossing over. On the return trip east, you can change between buses that originate from downtown Seattle and the U-District here. To quicken my commute, I have taken buses to this station and then transferred to a different bus to get to my final destination. Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is partially covered, but open air. It can get chilly waiting here on winter days. Still your wait here is usually only going to be a few minutes, so it is bearable. I do have a personal preference for the Evergreen Point stop over this one. Heading west, I want to spend the least amount of time potentially standing on the bus that I need to. If your usual bus is delayed, I would recommend taking a bus to this stop as it gives you more options to choose from. It is helpful for those who need to change over from a U-District bus to a downtown Seattle bus and vice versa.

The Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is super convenient to get to for Eastsiders. I've only been…read moreto this station a few times, only when my normal route has been backed up, and it's nice to know that there is this stop which isn't too far from downtown Bellevue. The bus stop is along 520. Once you're dropped off, there is a flight of stairs that takes you to the roundabout area that makes pick-ups easy peasy. At this stop, it's also covered, which has been handy since the last time I visited here it was snowing! This stop is not very walkable to any of the eastside neighborhoods, so I would recommend making arrangements to be picked up; hence, the roundabout driveway for cars here.

South Kirkland Park & Ride is located just north of the Kirkland border with Bellevue. It is…read morelocated right off 520 and close to Northup Way. A multi-story parking garage was built several years ago to provide additional parking spaces at this park and ride. I don't use this park and ride very often since I live in Bellevue. The park and rides at Eastgate, Mercer Island and South Bellevue are more convenient. Though if you live in Kirkland, this is probably your best option if you are going to park and commute into Seattle from here. There are a few buses that stop here. A few of them are more localized as they make stops only within Kirkland, though there is a bus that goes to Kenmore. And then there is the Metro bus 255 which goes to Kingsgate and Downtown Seattle. There are buses every 30 minutes each way on the weekends. But there is more frequent service (10-15 minutes) on weekdays. The good thing about waiting for the bus here is that buses stop in the same location in both directions. Though you do need to make sure you read the destination sign to make sure you are catching the right bus. The park and ride itself is fine. I just don't frequent it often because it is farther away and there isn't as much bus service to places where I am going. It is a bit more convenient if you are headed to the U-District and north Seattle as the buses that stop here going to Seattle use 520 instead of I-90.

I've taken the bus a few times here, and it's always been an easy process. Compared to other transit centers, this one doesn't feel as populated. I've never had to wait in a line to get on the bus from here. Also, all of the posts are marked, to indicate where to wait at for a particular route/bus. It's an easy process. I just love that this transit center is downtown, with bus routes from Seattle and other Eastside suburbs. It's accessible, easy, and never busy. Plus, cars can also use the lanes that the buses use for pick-ups and whatnot.

This is a great stop, because every bus headed westbound stops there, except the 271. That means you can catch a U District bus or a Seattle bus there very easily. The bad news is parking: there's not enough of it. They put a nice lawn in instead of supplying enough parking to meet demand. If you get there after 7:30 a.m. or so, there's no parking available. They have plenty of room on the deck for three times as much parking as they built.

My friend and I used flixbus to go from Everett, WA to Vancouver BC in December…read more I don't recall the driver's name but he sort of looked like, acted like, and sounded like Ned Flanders from The Simpsons. He wasn't too friendly as I didn't like how he scolded my friend and I for taking too long to get inside the bus after he checked our passports outside to get in. (It was raining so I had to take time to carefully put my partially wet passport back and close my large umbrella before going inside) I didn't feel 100% safe with the driver's driving in heavy rain. On the highway, he drove a little bit faster than i felt was necessary, and he drove a little too close near other cars. As for the bus stop area, Some things i wish Flixbus did was provide a place with shelter and seats for times the rain was pouring. There was only a sign post at the Everett bus stop. The weather was terrible and my friend and I had to stand in the pouring rain and string winds without any shelter for 15 minutes. Second, the instructions for the meeting place was unclear. There should be a real picture of the actual meeting place to reference instead of words or street names and a confusing description of the area. I was so lost. I had to ask the transit office to point me in the right direction after I wandered around aimlessly for 15 minutes looking for the flixbus bus stop. Flixbus provides free wifi. The free wifi was terrible for YouTube video streaming but it was ok for web surfing and such. On a positive note, the timing of arrival and departure was timely and there were no issues that negatively impacted my trip in a big way. Overall, Ill give it 3/5 stars based on this trip. Would i go on flixbus again? Yes, but it would always be my second choice to amtrak train. Also, right now, theres no other real convenient and affordable choices in terms of shuttle busses that travel from Seattle to Vancouver BC.

An open jaw works like this: You travel Flixbus from A to B, and then take other transportation from B to C, and then Flixbus from C to D.

Won't escalate it to a supervisor. You're just out of luck.

The Seattle area is served by King County transit, and by using the prepaid Orca card, can get necessary transfers. The transit center has outdoor covered bays, where the buses come in for pickup. Google maps does a good job of telling which bays to take, though I don't think it has real-time tracking of the buses.

Located in the heart of downtown Bellevue, this outdoor transit center (basically a series of…read moreberths where different bus numbers come and go) can be used to go to SeaTac airport in about 45 minutes. It also has local buses going throughout Bellevue, which can be used as connectors. The lightrail does not connect through Bellevue. There is a lot of construction next to the transit station (building some sort of high rise). I-405 is what connects Bellevue to the airport, and the bus takes it most of the way. It is just a standard bus, so doesn't have luggage racks nor empty spaces where bulky luggage can be placed. Works if you have one piece of luggage and the bus isn't too full. Bus driver was super friendly, and the fare one-way is $2.75 if using the mobile app that lets you buy the ticket on-line (you have 2 hours of unlimited uses once you activate it...so free transfers).

If you go wait at the bus stop super early like 10-15 minutes to prepare for the buses that come too early but it's delayed, you will end up waiting 20-50 minutes in total just standing in the blazing sun or cold rain. But if you try to go on time with a few extra minutes early, there are days buses will be 8-10 minutes early so you will miss it and with my luck the next bus will be delayed. Today I went out at 1:10PM for a bus and it was super early so I waited for the next one and it was delayed. Now I will arrive somewhere around 2:30PM for a place that takes 10 minutes to drive to.
