Because of our connections with Amtrak train service, this route follows Amtrak’s generous carry-on baggage policy Passengers can bring two carry-on bags and check two bags. All bags must be under 50 pounds and under 75 total inches (length + width + height of the bag).

Passengers may bring one bike free of charge as space allows. Space availability will be at our drivers’ discretion. If you’d like to reserve a space for your bike ahead of time, please purchase a $5 bicycle ticket from Amtrak when you buy your ticket. Bikes will be stored in the luggage compartment under the bus. A bike box is not necessary but you are welcome to bring bungee cords or other securement aids to assist the driver in securing your bike.

Some of our buses have seat belts but not all of them.

Babies are welcome aboard all POINT routes! Unfortunately, we can’t promise there will be a way to secure an infant car seat on our Cascades route since our buses don’t have car seat anchors and only some buses have seat belts. If you’d like to keep your baby on your lap we will happily store your car seat in the cargo area for free or allow it as a carry-on as space allows.

All lost and found items will be retrieved and stored by Amtrak. Union Station staff in Portland are ready to assist you in getting it back:
