The advantages of light rail
Due to police action at E 122nd Avenue and Burnside, MAX trains are bypassing the E 122nd Ave station. Shuttle buses are carrying riders to that station from the E 102nd Ave and E 148th Ave stations. A warming bus is also on scene for evacuees involved in the police situation.
