Two fixed-route bus companies provide daily service to
Portland and Salem. Central Oregon Breeze (www.cobreeze.
com, 541-389-7469) runs from the Redmond Airport to
Portland daily, twice on Fridays, including stops at Portland
International Airport, Union Station and the Gresham MAX
train stop. Greyhound (www.greyhound.com) does not come
to Redmond, but provides daily service from Bend to Salem
via Eugene.
A semi-fixed route bus system will make its debut in
Redmond in 2023, operated by Cascades East Transit. It
connects places not just in Redmond, but the Hub City to
Bend, Sisters, Prineville, and Madras multiple times a day
and on weekdays. Best place to catch the bus is the transit
hub in Redmond, 777 SW Kalama Ave. See schedules at

A bus waits at a 2018 ribbon cutting for Cascades East Transit’s Red-
mond Transit Hub. The design allows buses to pull in and get out of the
stops more easily than traditional curbs. Spokesman file

is available for trips within Redmond, with reservations.
