Wasatch, I assume Trimet's reasoning is that the orange line isn't going to have the same frequency as the yellow line. It would be confusing if sometimes the yellow line continued south and other times it didn't. Granted, that's what they're making happen anyway, but the difference is that riders will know if their train is headed further south if it becomes the orange line. Geez, that's stupidly confusing. The real question is, if someone gets on a yellow line train north of downtown, will they have any way of knowing whether or not that train will become orange? Or will they have to just take the yellow downtown and see what happens? Stupidly confusing. It's a shame frequency isn't going to line up such that the yellow line would go to Milwaukee every time, that way there would be no need for the color to change.
Is there ever a circumstance when a blue line MAX train changes en route to red?
