[edit] Name

Contrary to popular belief, the name MAXX is not an acronym.

"MAXX does stand for something. MAXX stands for comfortable and attractive facilities for commuters; fast, frequent and more reliable transport services; and comprehensive transport information. MAXX is not another acronym, but a symbol of quality."(MAXX launch press release.)
