South Waterfront/South Moody, formerly South Waterfront/Southwest Moody, is a combined light rail and bus station located at 698 Southwest Porter Street in the South Waterfront neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, at the west end of the Tilikum Crossing bridge.[1] It is serviced by the MAX Orange Line and TriMet buses. Portland Streetcar travels through it but does not service it.

Station layout

The station sits at the west end of the Tilikum Crossing bridge. It consists of four tracks and two island platforms. The outer lanes are used by MAX trains and the inner lanes are used by the Portland Streetcar's Loop Service and buses. SW Moody Avenue, including the Portland Streetcar NS Line, cross the transit way just west of the station; there, the Loop Service merges with the NS Line and both share stops just to the north. East of the station, the Streetcar tracks merge with the MAX tracks to cross the Tilikum Crossing.[2]

Bus service

,[3] TriMet bus lines FX2–Division, 9–Powell Blvd, 17–Holgate/Broadway, and 19–Woodstock/Glisan serve the station, using stops located on the same platforms as used by MAX but a different section of each platform. A fifth bus line serving the station is 291–Orange Night Bus, which substitutes for MAX service late at night and has only one or two trips per day.[4] In addition, TriMet bus lines 35–Macadam/Greeley and 99 Macadam/McLoughlin pass by the station in the southbound direction, with line 35 serving the southbound streetcar stop.[5]
