The Green Line, also known as The Vine on Fourth Plain, is a bus rapid transit (BRT) route in Vancouver, Washington, that is operated by C-Tran as part of The Vine system. The 6-mile-long (9.7 km) 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 line 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, the Red Line on Mill Plain Boulevard, opened on October 1, 2023.
