Dedicated bus lane in central Maine lol. Totally unnecessary. Rail is only faster without stops, the trip by train from Portland yo Boston is no time saver

It’s faster using the concord coach bus. Also cheaper and more frequent

Train is far more comfortable though, unless I can get to the back row my knees are either in my chest or buried in the seat in front of me on Concord Coach.

Yep, 100% agreed. I even drop the extra $10 for business class on Amtrak. Plus, Amtrak goes to north station and the bus doesn’t, so it’s really dependent on where your final destination in Boston is. Airport is a no brainer for the bus.
