2009 Route Change
Until mid-2009, the Portland Vintage Trolley continued to serve the route it has followed since opening 18 years earlier, from the Lloyd District to Galleria/SW 10th Avenue station in downtown Portland, running on Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., half-hourly, using two cars, but the final day of service along that route was August 23, 2009. In September 2009, the service was changed to a completely different route, but which is also a section of the MAX system. Commencing on September 13, 2009, Vintage Trolley service operates along the recently rebuilt Portland Transit Mall, on 5th and 6th Avenues in downtown, between Union Station and Portland State University. The service now uses only one car and runs from 10:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on its days of operation, which initially continued to include most Sundays from March through December (through the end of 2010, when another major change was made). Passengers can board or alight at any of the MAX stations along the 1.5-mile (2.4 km) route. A round trip takes approximately 30 minutes, and the headway varies between 30 minutes and 45 minutes. The ride remains free, but donations are welcomed.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or change:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
