caption_attribution_description: A rainbow shines over TriMet's Coliseum Transit Center (later renamed Rose Quarter Transit Center) on January 13, 1991, the first day of service through a newly built off-street section - a bus-only roadway (for southbound buses only) with a long passenger shelter. Bus 551 (a 1989 Flxible Metro on route 1-Greeley) is pulling away from the stop, and bus 974 (a 1982 GM RTS on route 4-Fessenden) is pulling up to the stop. In the lefthand background is the Memorial Coliseum, the namesake of the transit center and adjacent MAX station. The light green industrial building in the center background was demolished about two years later and replaced by the Rose Garden Arena. Only three years after this photo, in January 1994, this roadway and bus stop were closed and demolished, as part of a reconfiguration of several streets/intersections in connection with the construction of the new arena. The brick building at right, which is for TriMet bus drivers and fare inspectors, was retained and continues in use today.
context_page_description: Rose Quarter Transit Center is a light rail station in the MAX system and a TriMet bus transit center, and is located in the Rose Quarter area of Portland, Oregon, a part of the Lloyd District. It is served by the Blue, Green and Red Lines. It is currently the 7th stop eastbound on the Eastside MAX as well as the first stop after crossing the Willamette River on the Steel Bridge. Two hundred yards west of the station is the Interstate/Rose Quarter station on the MAX Yellow Line.
  Originally called the Coliseum Transit Center, it was renamed Rose Quarter Transit Center in 1994. As of September 2012, the transit center is served by six TriMet bus routes.
  The transit center is located at 47 NE Holladay Street where it intersects NE Wheeler Avenue; the MAX station platforms are under an Interstate 5 overpass. The station serves the Rose Quarter area, which includes the Moda Center and the Memorial Coliseum located just to the northwest. The station has three platforms—two side platforms plus an additional island platform and track used as train storage and during special events.
