context_page_description: The Vine is a bus rapid transit route in Vancouver, Washington that is operated by C-Tran. The 6-mile-long line runs from downtown Vancouver to the Vancouver Mall, serving 34 stations primarily on Fourth Plain Boulevard. It opened on January 8, 2017, becoming the first bus rapid transit system in the Portland metropolitan area.
  The corridor was identified as a possible BRT route in 2005 and was originally named the Fourth Plain BRT Project. The routing was approved for BRT development in 2012 by C-Tran, the Vancouver City Council, and the Federal Transit Administration and construction began in August 2015. The $53 million project is primarily funded by a Federal Transit Administration grant that was secured in late 2015. The Vine replaced two bus routes that carried over 6,000 trips daily. A second line in The Vine system, running on Mill Plain Boulevard, is planned to open in 2023.
context_section_description: The Vine runs every 10 minutes during peak hours and 15 minutes during off-peak periods and on weekends. Buses run from 4:30 a.m. to 12:40 am on weekdays and from 6:00 am to 12:25 am on weekends and holidays. A $1.80 adult fare, the same as existing local C-Tran service, is charged to ride The Vine.
  The Vine accepts the Hop Fastpass contactless smart card fare system, a new system available throughout the Portland–Vancouver metropolitan area in coordination with TriMet and the Portland Streetcar. The system has been in public beta testing since February 2017 and is scheduled to be launched for the general public on July 1, 2017.  Hop card readers have been installed at all Vine stations.
  C-Tran also runs a shuttle bus, route 60, from Downtown Vancouver to Jantzen Beach, Hayden Island and the Delta Park/Vanport light rail station to cross the Columbia River like former routes 4 and 44.
