I tried the Greyhound web-site before asking the question, as it did NOT have Ashland, Oregon on it, just Ashland KY and PA.

Greyhound is about your best bet. You can sometimes get an express bus from Portland to Eugene, that would help some, then a regular bus on to Ashland. You could also take Amtrak (train) from Portland to Eugene, and then Greyhound to Ashland, but that would require a taxi ride from the train station to the bus depot in Eugene.

Portland To Ashland

Yes, Ashland,OR is not always found on travel websites as it is a suburb of Medford. The local transit system in Medford (RVTA) provides local service between Medford and Ashland all day. As for service from Portland you could use Greyhound but they are the pits! Try Amtrak to Eugene and an Oregon Coachways thruway bus connection from there. Amtrak also has a direct thruway bus to California from Ashland as well.

The most inexpensive commercial transportation is Greyhound.
You can take a bus to Medford and use the Rogue Valley Transit District to get to Ashland.
You might also check http://portland.craigslist.org/rid/ for Portland rideshare opportunities. There's quite a few Southern Oregon University students who trek up and down Interstate 5 on the weekends. If you're willing to help pay for gas, the trip will be faster than taking a bus.
Have a safe trip.

If you are taking the MAX, while on the platform waiting for the MAX there should be a machine where you can buy your tickets. You can buy them one at a time, a day pass, week pass, or even a monthly pass. Push the buttons and follow the instructions. When boarding, just get on and sit down if there is a seat available. For the bus, when you get on the driver can help you out. Just tell him/her that you want a day pass, and ask how much it is if you don't know. Pay the amount and (s)he'll rip off the appropriate ticket for you. DO NOT LOSE YOUR TICKETS! They are transferable as well. If you get on the bus first and then on the MAX you don't need another ticket unless the first one is expired. Our MAX is on the "honor" method for payments. You are not required to show proof of ticket before boarding. But if you get caught without a ticket you will be fined. Hope some of that helped. The people of Portland are extremely nice and would be more than happy to help someone out if need be. So don't be afraid to ask once you get here! And welcome to gorgeous Oregon!

Bus From Portland To Eugene

I see you went to the website, but you might have to call greyhound since some small towns on their route have at least one stop. They tend to look like a normal bus stop sign on a corner. You may have to order your ticket over the phone and have them mail it to you to board or go to a bigger city and purchase the ticket in person. I do believe there is a stop in Ashland since it does have the biggest shakespear festival on the west coast or maybe it would have to be medford. You may just have to find a ride to medford to jump on the bus.
good luck in your journey!!

greyhound probably doesn't go to Ashland...try Medford and then mapquest the distance from Medford to Ashland (maybe 20 miles)
Drive would probably take 6 hours at the speed limit and a few breaks along the way.
