TriMet adds MAX & bus service for Starlight Parade
TriMet will have extra MAX and bus service along with staff downtown and at major transit centers to assist riders heading to and from the Starlight Parade on June 4.
Service highlights
During the parade Blue and Yellow MAX trains will continue to run through downtown:
- Blue Line trains will run every 15 minutes until 11:30 p.m. Just before and after the parade, service will increase to about every 10 minutes. The last trains will leave Pioneer Square stations at 1:32 a.m.
