Bus service

Two fixed-route bus companies provide daily service to Portland and Salem. Central Oregon Breeze (www.cobreeze.com) runs from the Redmond Airport to Portland twice daily, including stops at Portland International Airport, Union Station and the Gresham MAX train stop. Valley Retriever (www.kokkola-bus.com/VRBSchedule.html) does not come to Redmond but provides service from Bend to Salem daily.

Redmond has no fixed route-bus system in town, but Cascades East Transit operates a regional system, offering buses from Redmond to Bend, Sisters,Prineville, and Madras multiple times a day. They are planning the construction of a transit hub in Redmond, with hopes to eventually create a daily, fixed route within Redmond. See schedules at www.cascadeseasttransit.com. An on-demand transit bus is available for trips within Redmond, with reservations. Call 541-385-8680 at least 24 hours in advance.
