A new public transit pilot project offering bus service between McMinnville and Eugene, with two stops in Corvallis, officially launched last month.
The pilot project, dubbed 99 Vine, is a partnership between Benton County and Yamhill County and aims to provide Monday through Friday bus service to eight communities along the 99W corridor. This new service is fare-less and will connect McMinnville to Eugene with stops in communities including Rickreall, Amity, Monmouth, Corvallis (OSU and downtown), Monroe, Junction City, and Eugene.
99 Vine is beginning service as a grant-funded, six-month pilot project. Earlier this year, Yamhill County and Benton County selected Pacific Crest Bus Lines to operate the service. For further information including the schedule look here 99 Vine.
