<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">TriMet is introducing bus service that will run in place of MAX trains during late-night hours.</p>
<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">If you ride MAX Blue, Orange, Red or Yellow Lines, here’s what you need to know:</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">These buses will serve the last few trips of the service day for MAX lines, beginning at or near midnight.</li>
<li style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">This change will begin on August 25.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">The Line 291-Orange Bus will continue to serve Orange Line riders with the addition of a new northbound route and updated late-night schedules.</p>
<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">By providing late night-trips on buses instead of trains, we'll be able 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 during the hours most people are riding.</p>
<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px">A MAX Green Line late-night bus is not needed because the Green Line already has a nearly five-hour overnight work window.</p>
<p style="font-size:18px!important;line-height:27px!important;color:#333333;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:18px"><span>While buses will be running in place of MAX trains, they will only be providing service for current late-night MAX trips. The buses will not run throughout the night. They will match current MAX late-night service hours.</span></p>
