it’s blaine and the border! got questioned (quickly) by both canadian and american border patrol but it’s still kinda surreal standing in the middle of the highway and being able to cross into canada for a bit without a passport (yes, I need to visit the library in derby too)

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@milesintransit1 open plains transit is a little insane.... (facebook only schedule for this route, because they never update their website)

but also: https://t.co/vjU2Ix4hnq is pretty insane on its own

unfortunately i have no actually useful ideas (at least right now)

@milesintransit1 @brianyyz oh wow, that's really cool to see someone else did it too!

“The LAP” commuter bus service between Lewiston/Auburn and Portland will begin on Monday.

Visit this link for more information, including a link to the weekday schedule:

We are still working to make “The LAP” visible in the Token Transit app.

@_KennyUong_ @CapeCodRTA yep, those are revenue pullouts/returns to the garage. you can find the trips on individual route pdf schedules as “theophilius smith rd - cinema” and “patriot sq express”
just no consolidated pdf/page for all of the pullouts

@QuadMet cheating :(

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@QuadMet no longer doable in one day from portland then...

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@QuadMet wait is neah bay further west than both la push and port orford

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@milesintransit1 well, seems lubec doesn't have fixed stops so you can just say it doesn't count

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@QuadMet actually cherriots has a permanent alerts on their website for the 60x and 70x too for some reason

@milesintransit1 it would be realllly funny if pacific transit ends up being a thing on sundays

@evrgreentransit actually c-tran is annoying and charges you money as soon as you cross the border

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@MichaelBatavia ahhh i see it now

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@milesintransit1 other than that i guess it's just optimizing weekends? there's probably some way to make it work, but it'd also be so risky

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@milesintransit1 actually if you count oregon point you can do it in 5 days going through eugene

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

@MichaelBatavia literally just arrived in baltimore on spirit

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

shhhh that’s 7 days i have a northbound itinerary that’s 6 days

the “perfection” sheet here (i haven’t rigorously checked it, there may be a mistake) https://t.co/x6afBOPJaQ

[Aaron @aquaticpotato71]

summary summary: on the bus 6:03am 6/12 in blaine, off the train 2:17pm 6/21 in san ysidro, so 10 days. it’s absolutely possible to do this in 6 days, for example the same route leaving blaine tue and making it to san ysidro by mon (assuming the first day works)

was it fast? no. was it comfortable? not really. was it cheap? no, not when you consider the upwards of $1000 probably in hotels

was it fun though? yeah! not sure i’d *recommend* it for anyone though

thanks for following along!

worth noting though that those prices are not at all what you’ll see online; it may fluctuate wildly based on how the minibus drivers are feeling on a particular day…
