Late-Night/Early-Morning MAX Service Provided by Buses
These buses will serve the last few trips of the service day for MAX lines, beginning at or near midnight.
Starting on August 25, 2024
TriMet is introducing bus service that will run in place of MAX trains during late-night hours. This will affect MAX Blue, Orange, Red and Yellow lines. MAX Green Line will not be affected.
Providing late-night trips on buses instead of trains will allow us to complete more overnight maintenance projects on our light rail system and reduce unplanned service disruptions, as well as multi-day disruptions for improvement projects. This will help us provide more reliable MAX service for our riders.
TriMet has the second-shortest overnight maintenance window of any U.S. transit agency that runs light rail service, with only 47 minutes in which no MAX trains are running anywhere on our 60-mile light rail network. Long service hours also lead to excessive wear and tear on rails, track equipment, overhead wires and trains.
