I'm trying to find a cheap bus fare for April 2nd from Vancouver to Seattle. So I went to Greyhound's website and I was a bit blown away by the prices that I saw.

It's $14 for an advance purchase, $17 for web-only fare, and $15 for a standard fare. What are the differences between these fares? I can't seem to find the difference on Greyhound's website so I called them today.

Unfortunately Greyhound's call center is outsourced to some company in Colombia in South America. I can barely understand the person on the other side of the line. What I did understood was that it's $31 for a fare if I were to book over the phone. So it does seem like it's a no-brainer to book online, but the problem is that Greyhound's website isn't secure. It doesn't have a valid security certificate so both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome are warning me not to put in any sensitive information.

So what should I do guys? Is Greyhound's website even reliable? I'm also afraid that the ticket that I book will somehow be invalid on the date of travel. It does seem a bit too good to be true. Have anyone here taken the bus from Vancouver to Seattle with Greyhound? It is much cheaper than Quickshuttle so that's why I'm thinking of taking Greyhound. Where do I take the bus in Vancouver and where will it drop me off in Seattle?

Thanks for the help in advance guys!
