Transportation in Bangor, ME

“I recently had cause to take the Concord Trailways bus from Bangor to Portland. My wife was making a long drive north and I was going to meet her in Portland to take over the last two hours of driving in Maine. And if we could hang out in Portland for a while also, that was a bonus. I went online to check into the cost and details. I saw that buses left Bangor for Portland about every two hours. (Greyhound only seemed to have one mid-morning trip available.) My ride to Bangor was going to land me at the station just 15 minutes ahead of departure, so I ordered the ticket for 7 a.m. The ticket is not easily refundable, but I saw that seats were not assigned and the ticket would be good for any trip to Portland. (Though later I wanted to double check that, and that info was only in one place on their site and hard for me to find. My only minor complaint about the ticket process.) So I arrived 15 minutes before departure and got right in line, so I didn't have to sweat out going inside to buy a ticket. Therefore, I can't report on the inside of the Bangor station at all, since I didn't see it. 30 seconds before we left, a young guy jumped out of a vehicle and ran over to board. He slept all the way to Portland, so I guess he had a rough night. But he made it! The bus itself was terrific. The seat was comfortable and with ear buds ai brought I listened to classical music, while others watched local CBS television. There is a charging station at your elbow so I charged my devices as I used them. The seat beside me was empty until Augusta, when I obtained a seat mate to Portland. But unlike with plane seats, there was enough room for me not to feel crowded in. I didn't see any free water or anything as some reviewers mention, but perhaps that is for those extending farther south than Portland. The transportation center in Portland is large, clean and safe. There are vending machines and clean rest rooms. If you've a mind to, you can also board the Northeaster train from here for trips to Boston or Brunswick. Or a bus to Boston, of course. I would not hesitate to use Concord's bus service if the need ever arises.”

“She could not have been lovelier or more helpful. She didn't have time to pick me up from my house and drive me to the pharmacy before they closed, so she offered to pick up the prescription for me and bring it to my house. Good-natured, affordable, and all around excellent service. I'll definitely use this company again.”

“Penquist transportation is the best! If it was not for penquist transportation I would not be able to get to where I need to go! It is for medical related trips and they always schedule my trips with ease and make traveling and scheduling a breeze!Thank You,Nicole Randall”
