 | | Well, the fact is that Portland’s MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) light rail system, new streetcar line, pedestrian-friendly downtown, half-size city blocks, and cycling-centric commuters are as much a part of the city’s identity as roses and bridges. |
 | | The new MAX Yellow Line (opened in May 2004) boasts 5 miles of track along Interstate Avenue, linking the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center to the Oregon Convention Center/Rose Quarter area and the city’s hotel downtown core. |
 | | In “Fareless Square,” a 330-block area in downtown Portland, transportation on all MAX light rail trains, buses, trolleys and streetcars is free. |
