The Transit Traveller: Our Greyhound day

Today, we only rode greyhound buses, to get from Corvallis to Coos Bay. After eating a wonderful breakfast at Hilton Garden Inn, we set off for the Greyhound station. After a short walk, we reached our destination:

The Corvallis Greyhound station is small, dingy, and dirty. Before the trip, we printed out 2 sheets which had our information on it. The staff member in the station took them and gave us real tickets for the bus. Once the bus got here, Appa put his backpack in the luggage compartment, and we boarded the bus. I was shocked by the dirt, the crowd, and the smell. We couldn't even get seats together for the hour-long ride to Eugene. The, finally, our bus arrived in Eugene. The Eugene Greyhound station was as bad as the Corvallis one, plus a bad smell in the small area. Me and Appa waited for a little while, and then boarded the next bus, to Cos Bay. This bus was actually a van, but it was like a palace compared to the last one. Mainly, it was because there were far less people on the Coos Bay bus. As we zoomed through the forest, I started to need to use the restroom. I held it an held it, until finally the driver said "Does anyone need a restroom break?" Then we stopped at a state park, and me and a few other passengers used the restroom. A while later, after riding down the coastline, the bus arrived at the Porter Stagelines stop in Coos Bay. Then we got off the bus and walked over to the

This hotel is right between a motel and a hotel. The room was nice and clean, and the breakfast was good.

I would give it a 3.5/5 rating.

We had lunch at El Sombrero, a great Mexican place, then watched the Coastal Express (which we weren't taking) leave the stop. To end the day, we had dinner at Abby's Legendary Pizza and some fruit and veggies from Safeway.
