This is the MAX station at the zoo. This is the first time either of us had been down to the underground station about 260 to 300 feet below the surface. As luck would have it, two trains arrived during our five minutes at the station.

  • Actually, The Operators Wait A Few Seconds. They Look For People On The Platform, Which Determines How Long They Have To Wait Until They Close Their Doors. If There Was A Lot Of People, They Would Close The Doors When The Station Is Cleared

  • Do they still stop and open the doors even if no one is on the platform?

  • Looks like quite an operation! And that elevator must've damn near been in free fall. WOO!!

    But I didn't see anyone on either one of them. Not what I'd call monstrously profitable... :-)

  • That is one of the main complaints that the tax payers have. They spend our highway dollars on trains, and then tell us they need more money or they won't repair the large, and growing number of potholes.

  • Mr BeanMeister, again you top the bill in my subscription update, thats two updates in a row, I am putting you on tube watch...its a place where either you will surrender and become whatthebuckshow slave, or be featured by youtube and be a new happyslip..!

    Anyway, persistance has its toll, and my cold heart is warming to your antics..

    The Mad Bomber..

  • Thank you, you are too kind:)

  • Thank you so much for posting this..i live in kc now but was living there when they started this project

  • ew ugly looking train

  • If you look at my videos of the Portland MAX, some trains at least give you 1 minute. It really depends how many passengers are waiting at the station. Your video didn't have that many people. That is why it was shorting boarding time. Look at my videos at SW 10th/ Galleria. They gave you around 1 minute or so. By the way 2 trains lucky. I got 2 at Sunset TC.
