Pioneer Square South and Pioneer Square North are light rail stations on the MAX Blue and Red lines in Portland, Oregon. It is considered the central station in the MAX system, although the Eastside and Westside MAX lines technically end/begin just past the Galleria and Library stations to the west. Pioneer Square South is the first stop on the (original) Eastside MAX line. It originally served the Yellow Line from 2004 to 2009 until its relocation to the Portland Transit Mall.
The platforms are built into the sidewalks of Yamhill and Morrison Streets and are part of Pioneer Courthouse Square, Downtown Portland's focal point.
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.
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.
There are transfers to the Green and Yellow lines on the Transit Mall at the Pioneer Courthouse/Southwest 6th and Pioneer Place/Southwest 5th stations.
