Seattle, Eugene, and Portland by Plane, Trains, and Autobuses?!

Seattle, Washington has several travel options to the Oregon Cities of Portland and Eugene. So what is the best option? Well, Seattle and Eugene are at that magical distance where it is pretty competitive between all the transit options. In this video I'm travelling from Seattle to Eugene and then making a pit stop in Portland before heading back home. I figured I may as well use a different mode of transport for each leg. So, I flew the longest distance on Alaska Airlines (technically SkyWest) to Eugene. From there I take a pilot program bus, which has drastically changed even since filming, the 99 Vine to the city center. From Eugene I take an Oregon POINT bus, operated by MTR Western, to Portland, which I bought via Amtrak. In Portland, I take a mini sneak peek ride on the Nova Bus operating on TriMet's FX-2 line before I head back to Seattle via the classic Amtrak Cascades. After all of this, can I even choose a favorite? Corrections: The lake seen near the Eugene Airport is Fern Hill Reservoir not Veneta Lake. Veneta is a city just on the southwestern edge of the lake.
