A single-car Red Line train bound for the airport is
about to approach a switch from City Center turnback rails in this view
along SW Yamhill St. Its next stop is Library/SW 9th Ave., the first
station in the Free Rail Zone
The concept of free travel for trips totally within center city was first established in the
mid-1970s for bus routes, under the term "Fareless Square." Its boundaries
were expanded to the north and east
after that. Starting in early 2010, the rules were changed, and
only rail travel on the two MAX routes and the Portland Streetcar qualified
in the renamed "Free Rail Zone." |
