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 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 Silver Line has five bus rapid transit routes; two run on Washington Street with different downtown terminals, while three run underground in the Seaport with surface 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.
The streetcar routes entering the Central Subway were designed as the Green Line on August 26, 1965. Sunday service was extended to Lechmere on September 10, 1966. In 1967, the five remaining Green Line branches were given letter designations; the Riverside Line became the D branch. [2] A train of Boeing LRVs at Eliot station in 1984
The downtown portions of what are now the Green, Orange, Blue, and Red line tunnels were all in service by 1912. Additions to the rapid transit network occurred in most decades of the 1900s, and continue in the 2000s with the addition of Silver Line bus rapid transit and planned Green Line expansion.

Stylized map of the Boston subway system from 2013. The map does not reflect changes since, including the 2014 opening of Assembly station, the 2018 start of SL3 service, and the 2022 opening of the Green Line Extension. This is a list of MBTA subway stations in Boston and surrounding municipalities.
