Within the Free Rail Zone, a 330-block area in the central city, there’s no charge for transportation aboard MAX light rail trains, trolleys and streetcars. Riders lucky enough to catch the historic Vintage Trolley (Sundays only, March-December) along the MAX route are treated to a guided tour. The Free Rail Zone also stretches across the Willamette River to include stops at the Rose Garden arena (home to the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers), the Oregon Convention Center and Lloyd Center shopping mall.
