I recently had cause to take the Concord Trailways bus from Bangor to Portland. My wife was making…read morea 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.

Some stops don't have rain cover or food waterville does, augusta when open does, portland does not!

We encountered another couple looking for the same thing. Well, thankfully we saw the gorgeous new van driving by, so a phone call was made.... information exchanged.... and we got the layout of the land on how the service worked. And, flexibility is all about it . We were able to get up to Acadia National Park in the comforts of a gorgeous 2023 new van by the informative owner. $10 pp each way. We were hoping to hike down, however, the rains the previous days did not warrant a safe hike, so we me her in the designated spot and have a ride on down the mountain. What an amazing serivce and can not highly recommend her more.

The ride was miserable because the smell was nauseating me and hurting my throat. There was a bag of trash and some fast food cups in the backseat area where I was riding. The driver was going painfully slow and the trip that should take 15ish minutes took over 20 minutes. The best part of the ride was when he ran my credit card for the bill and added a tip for himself of $3.74. I only know this because I got a receipt emailed to me and I certainly wouldn't have left him a tip. I feel like that was certainly unethical and possibly illegal... Avoid at all costs.
