The Red Line, also known as The Vine on Mill Plain,[1] is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line in Vancouver, Washington, United States, operated by C-Tran as part of The Vine. The 10-mile (16 km) route runs from 7th Street at Turtle Place in downtown Vancouver to Mill Plain Transit Center via Mill Plain Boulevard.[2]

Groundbreaking for the Mill Plain BRT project took place on September 28, 2021. A ceremonial ribbon-cutting took place on September 30, 2023, and the line opened for regular service on October 1, 2023.[3] The new line replaced C-Tran Route 37 and features offboard fare payment and near-level boarding.[4]
