The North South Line (NS Line) is a streetcar service in Portland, Oregon, United States, that is part of the Portland Streetcar system. Operated by Portland Streetcar, Inc. and TriMet, it travels approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) per direction serving 39 stations. It runs every day of the week between 15 and 18 hours per day, operating on headways of 15 to 20 minutes. The NS Line is the busiest of Portland's three streetcar routes; it carried an average of 8,751 weekday riders in September 2018. The restoration of streetcar service, which last operated in Portland in 1950, began with the efforts of a citizen advisory committee in 1990. After nearly a decade of planning, construction began in 1999. With the opening of its first 2.4-mile (3.9 km) segment in 2001, it became the inaugural line of the Portland Streetcar system, as well as the first second-generation streetcar service in the United States, owing to its use of modern vehicles. Having previously had no distinct route name, it was designated the North South Line in September 2012, with the opening of the system's second service, the Central Loop Line, which was later renamed Loop Service.
