The Pioneer Square South/Pioneer Square North stations are light rail stations on the MAX Blue, Red, and Yellow lines in Portland, Oregon. It is considered the central station on the MAX system, although the Eastside and Westside MAX lines technically end/begin just past the Galleria and Library stations to the west.
The platforms are built into the sidewalks of Yamhill and Morrison streets and are part of Pioneer Courthouse Square, Downtown Portland's focal point.
[edit] Points of interest
Pioneer Courthouse Square hosts many popular events year round. TriMet maintains a ticket office in the Visitor's Information Center on the square's grounds.
Popular shopping areas include Portland's downtown Macy's and Nordstrom department stores.
[edit] Transit connections
The Portland Transit Mall's northbound lines on 6th Avenue connect to the MAX along the east side of Pioneer Square. Southbound lines are on 5th Avenue, and can be accessed at the next eastbound station as well.
In 2009, the Yellow Line and Green Line will be routed along a new set of MAX tracks along the Portland Transit Mall.
