$30.00 – $80.00The Green Line is part of the oldest subway in the United States. The short section between Boylston St and Park St opened in 1897 as a way to divert heavy trolley traffic which came downtown from Allston, Brighton, Brookline, Jamaica Plane, Roxbury, and Dorchester. It was quickly expanded to North Station to serve trolley traffic from the northern suburbs.
As commuting patterns changed due in part to the success of the subway the Green Line was extended west to Kenmore Sq and in the 1940s southwest along Huntington Ave. As more and more commuters chose to travel in private automobiles ridership on the trolleys dropped. In 1959 the Riverside branch was opened along a former commuter rail line through Newton. A rebranding of the MBTA system in 1967 renamed the branches that were left as the A, B, C, D, and E branches. The A branch to Watertown Sq. only lasted two more years before finally being axed in 1969.
Boston College B Branch trains run along Commonwealth Ave to Government Center; Cleveland Cirlce C Branch trains run along Beacon St to North Station; Riverside D Branch trains run along the Riverside line through Newton to Government Center; Heath St E Branch trains run along Huntington Ave to Lechemere. Construction has begun on a long planned extension northwest through Somerville which will bring the E branch to Union Sq and the D to College Ave-Tufts University.

$30.00 – $80.00Breaking ground December 9th, 1969 the Red Line was the first section of the Washington Metro to open, from Farragut North to Rhode Island Ave, in 1976 in conjuncture with the nations Bicentennial. Over the next few years the line was extended to Dupont Circle and Silver Springs, MD and throughout the 1980s was slowly expanded to Shady Grove, MD and Wheaton, MD with a final extension to Glenmont opening in 1998.
The Red Line is the most used line in the WAMA system and the only line that doesn’t share a route with another line. A two track line, all but four of the stations are single central platforms. Most of the line is underground; however, the eastern branch from Union Station to Silver Springs and the western branch from White Flint to Shady Grove runs above ground along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad right-of-way.

$30.00 – $80.00The Green Line was the final section of the original Washington Metro to open with trains not running until December 1991. While planning for the Green Line began at the same time as the rest of the system it was decided in 1977 to develop the route last. This decision sparked much controversy because the Green Line runs through areas of the city which are the poorest and most transit dependent.
Legal and funding issues dogged construction of the line. Station locations were also subject to much controversy and the ultimate route changed often. The northern section was to run in the median of the North Central Freeway but had to be changed when the freeway was canceled.
The Green Line shares its route through central D.C. with the Yellow Line. The first section ran from U St to Anacostia. Due to controversy over the route from U St to Fort Totten a small section of the Green Line from Fort Totten to Greenbelt opened first in 1993 with no physical connection to the other section of Green Line.
While the final section of subway from U St to Fort Totten was under construction some Green Line trains ran along the Red Line from West Hyattsville to Farragut North using a single non-revenue track connecting each line. In 1999 the connection between U St and Fort Totten was finally opened. In 2001 the Green Line was extended south to Branch Ave, thus completing the originally planned system 25 years after the first section was opened and 46 years after planning began.

$30.00 – $80.00The Pink Line is the most recent addition to the CTA but uses some of the original tracks of the old Metropolitan West Side elevated. The Douglas Park branch opened in 1896 and ran as far west as Oak Park Ave until it was cut back to 54th Ave in Cicero. When the Garfield Park branch of the Met was removed and replaced by the Congress Line (running in the median of Interstate 290) the Douglas Park branch was connected to it and routed through the Milwaukee-Dearborn Subway.
The Congress-Douglas Lines operated a skip-stop service with stations being designated as A, B, or A/B. The Douglas branch ran B trains exclusively until this service was discontinued. In 2005 the CTA began studies looking at making the Douglas branch a separate line, originally known as the Silver Line. In 2006 a contest found that pink was the preferred choice. The CTA rehabilitated a section of track known as the Paulina Connector which was part of the original Metropolitan elevated but was connected to the Lake St Line. This allows Douglas branch trains to run over the Loop for the first time in half a century.
