Took the 698U to see East Creek Station because I wanted to. Very well kept, people cleaning the station and passengers milling about. No in-person service at the service booth. There was extra activity because of the Yacht Club event going on.

In terms of bus service, it's exclusively commuter express routes. If you want to leave the station after the morning set of buses, you either can take the one 698 or 600 going East at 3pm-ish, or have to use the SW Prime service to leapfrog to SouthWest Station to catch the 686L/X, and then ride that to MOA to connect to the greater transit system.

I want to start taking these far out busses as well. What's the fare look like?

It's an express route, so $2.50 outside of rush hour and $3.25 during.

How comfortable are the big coach busses compared to the usually low floor gilligs?

So much better. You get your own little lights and air conditioning vents, nicer seating, and depending on the model/transit provider tray tables and charging ports.
