MAX or Metropolitan Area Express does have expanded railway infrastructure with its light variation running through 44 miles. That covers the city of Portland and a lot more. There are two-coach trams also that run on the streets and facilitate passage of many commuters.

The interstate train services run in designated colors that symbolize distance and speed.
