Pacific Trailways shop-man exiting a bus after checking the interior (I have omitted his name for privacy) I bought my first stereo from this guy. One memory I have about our buses is they were serviced with pride, I never saw a dirty interior, and they always smelled fresh. This due in part I think to the self-contained toilet in the rear which had a perfumed fragrance which permeated the interior. The exteriors, as well, were maintained with realization that the buses were rolling billboards and represented the company. I rode the buses many times over the pass to the Willamette Valley in the winter. More than once we had to stop and the driver had to install chains. I spent many a snowy night waiting for buses to arrive at Bend which had navigated treacherous roads covered with snow and ice. Pacific Trailways drivers were the best, not only friendly and personable, but skilled at driving the Northwest in inclement conditions. (1975)
