at Hawthorne Station at 7:47
a.m.
In the afternoon, two runs
are identical to the morn-
ing run; one leaving Bend at
3:45 p.m., arriving at the first
Sisters stop at 4:13 p.m. and
leaving Ray’s at 4:18 p.m. to

arriving in Sisters at 5:38
p.m., leaving Ray’s at 5:43
p.m., and arriving at Bend’s

p.m.
When the Highway 20
roundabout project is com-
plete in the spring, the Ray’s
stop will move west on
Arrowleaf Trail close to the
St. Charles medical clinic.
To acquaint Sisters resi-
dents and/or Sisters work-
ers from Bend with the new
route, there will be no fares
on the Bend-Sisters route for
the first week from Monday,
February 6 through Friday,
February 10. The bus will
run every week from Monday
through Friday, with no
weekend service.
Community Connector
route #28, which currently
runs between Redmond and
Sisters, will have a slight
schedule retiming intended to
minimize the amount of time
waiting at the Redmond hub
for a transfer. The new sched-
ule is commuter-friendly and
should better accommodate
workers with typical office
hours. The new Redmond-
Sisters schedule will begin
Monday, February 6.
The first morning run
between Redmond and
Sisters leaves the Redmond
library at 6:12 a.m., arriving
at East Main at 6:38 a.m.,
West Main at 6:40 a.m. and
Ray’s at 6:43 a.m., arriving
back in Redmond at 7:13 a.m.
There is no stop at George
Cyrus Road on the first run.
The other morning run
that does stop at George
Cyrus Road to drop off Heart
of Oregon Corps students,
leaves Redmond at 7:23 a.m.,
arrives at George Cyrus at
7:43 a.m., East Main at 7:50
a.m., West Main at 7:52
a.m., and Ray’s at 7:55 a.m.
Returning to Redmond, the
bus stops at George Cyrus
at 8:06 a.m. and gets to the
Redmond library at 8:26 a.m.
In the afternoon, the bus
departs Redmond at 2:40
p.m., arriving at George
Cyrus at 3 p.m., the first
Sisters stop at 3:07 p.m. and
Ray’s at 3:12 p.m. Returning
to Redmond, the stop at
George Cyrus is at 3:23 p.m.,
arriving at the Redmond
library at 3:43 p.m.
The routes serving
Sisters from both Bend and
Redmond serve multiple
zones, and so the fares will
be $6.50 (regular) and $5
(senior/disabled) for a multi-
zone day pass and $3.75/$3
for a single ride.
Those who qualify for
half-fare or reduced fares
are persons aged 60 and
older, Medicare cardhold-
ers, persons who receive
Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) or Social
Security Disability (SSD)
benefits, as well as veterans
with disabilities, with at least
50 percent permanent disabil-
ity. There are also discounts
for nonprofits and groups.
Tickets can be obtained
from the Hawthorne Station
at 334 Hawthorne Ave. in
Bend (cash/credit cards only),
the Redmond Operations
Center at 343 E. Antler Ave.,
from CET drivers (cash only,
exact change), or online via
the CET website. Tickets
purchased online will be sent
via U.S. mail.
The Redmond hub will
eventually move from the
public library to the new hub
to be constructed by Fred
Meyer and Lowe’s.

about CET services is avail-
able on their website, www.
