I work up at the mountain and commuting can be costly. This shuttle is vital to not only local employees but everyone that visits Mt Bachelor. It puts many people off of the roads and into large buses which keeps the roads from being too overcrowded and slow. Though it is worth noting to do your homework before you take this shuttle before you catch it to make it a five star experience. I learned the hard way how to take this shuttle but you can avoid my mistakes by following these helpful guidelines.
1. Know what times to avoid. There are certain times that this shuttle is packed and many people have to stand the entire ride because they were not early enough. 7:45am 8:20am and 3:30pm are times that are packed on the weekends and holidays. Show up 20 minutes before the time and you are set typically.
2. Store your gear in the bottom racks if you can. The racks in the back tend to get packed full of people slamming their gear in to make it fit. If you value your possessions, use the racks below the bus.
3. Bring exact cash. They do not take card and do not give out change. Bring the exact amount in cash for both arrival and departure and you will be fine.
4. Relax and enjoy the fact that you do not have to drive on that nightmare of a highway.
If you follow these steps, you will be set to have a four to five star experience.
