Schematic map of Green Line branches and stations. The Green Line's core is the central subway, a group of tunnels which run through downtown Boston. [10] The Tremont Street subway runs roughly north–south through downtown, with stations at Boylston, Park Street, Government Center, Haymarket, and North Station – all with connections to other lines of the MBTA subway system.
The rapid transit lines consist of 3 heavy rail (Metro) lines, 2 light rail lines, and a bus rapid transit line. The heavy rail Red Line has two southern branches, while the light rail Green Line has four services (B, C, D, and E) that use four western and two northern branches.
The line was cut back to Government Center except at rush hour from March 21 to June 21, 1980, and cut back to Park Street on April 4, 1981. [8] The line was extended to Government Center on June 26, 1982, with LRVs providing all service. [8] From July 24 to September 10, 1982, the line was replaced by buses to allow for track replacement.
