earn
Honoring the lives and legacies of
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
Coretta Scott King, Rosa Parks
TriMet will modify its bus
and MAX schedule for the
Martin Luther King Jr. holiday
on Monday, Jan. 19, to match
ridership demand.
The transit agency carries
more riders on the MLK holi
day than any other holiday, so
the agency is providing more
service than atypical holiday/
Sunday schedule.
Based on last year's fig
ures, ridership is anticipated to
be approximately two-thirds
of a normal weekday.
The special m odifications
mean MAX will run on a
S a tu rd a y s c h e d u le , 59
heavily-traveled bus lines will
run on weekday schedules.
