I got stuck taking the bus from the airport at the last moment (AKA my ride ending up drinking too much) and I had no idea where to go. I think I ended up taking the 174 but not even the information desk at the airport could give me any good info so I felt pretty lost. This should help a lot thanks!

Also, reroute information on the 194 bus:

Yes we know, theres already a thread.
Is this still a working route? Using every online route finder, nothing like this comes up. Most say it will take 2 hours and don't use that bus. I plan on taking the free shuttle from this slum hotel in a few hours to hop on that bus to get the Sheraton then the breakfast, I just wanted to make sure this is a sure fire way to get there on time.
I can attest to the 174 working as well, as that's the bus I took from the airport yesterday. I took a little over an hour to get to the 4th and University stop though. But, a hell of a lot cheaper than a cab or shuttle to the Red Lion.
