Portland – C-Tran plans to adjust its express routes during the afternoon commute in response to large protests planned in downtown Portland today.

The following changes are planned for express services:

• Route 105 will run in downtown Portland through 2:30 p.m. Extra buses will be available as needed.

• Route 164 will serve its first departure from downtown Portland at 2:30 p.m. Extra buses will be available as needed.

• Route 177 will be suspended for the afternoon. Following that, passengers may use MAX, then C-Tran Routes 65 and 80 to reach Evergreen Transit Center.
