$30.00 – $80.00The Red Line is the busiest of all the Chicago “L” lines. The oldest section opened in 1900 as part of the North Side Main Line and starts at Howard station. One of the few lines in the United States which runs 24 hours a day it is also part of the only 4 track express subway in the US outside of New York City. In 1947 the State St Subway opened and allowed North Side trains to connect to the South Side elevated which is part of the Green Line today.
In 1969 the Dan Ryan Branch opened along the Dan Ryan Expressway but originally was connected to the Lake St elevated. In 1993 the CTA reorganized their lines with a new color code and the Dan Ryan Branch was shifted to the Red Line for a true north-south line. The CTA is currently studying plans to extend the Red Line south to 130th St.

$30.00 – $80.00PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson), originally known as the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad (H&M), predates the original line of the NYC Subway. First planned in 1874, existing technologies could not safely tunnel under the Hudson River. Construction began on the existing tunnels in 1890, but stopped shortly thereafter when funding ran out. Construction did not resume until 1900 under the direction of William Gibbs McAdoo.
Opened in 1907, the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad tunnels were designed to link three of the major railroad terminals on the Hudson River in New Jersey—the Lackawanna in Hoboken, the Erie and PRR in Jersey City—with New York City. Two sets of tunnels connected commuters to the business centers in lower Manhattan and midtown Manhattan along 6th Ave. As the H&M was opened only 3 years after the original subway extensions were planned from 33rd St to Grand Central (original plans for Grand Central Terminal show space for a never built H&M station) and from 9th St to Astor Pl.
The H&M was only successful for a short 20 years as Pennsylvania Station opened in midtown in 1910 and the Holland Tunnel opened in 1927, diverting rail traffic from New Jersey terminals and then by commuters who chose to drive. Two original stations at 19th St and 28th St were closed to speed up service. By the 1950s the railroad was in bankruptcy but continued to operate. In 1961 the Port Authority was tapped to construct a new World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. In a deal with the states of New York and New Jersey the Port Authority agreed to take over the railroad and moved the location of the new WTC to the Hudson Terminal of the H&M in lower Manhattan. The Port Authority upgraded the system and changed the name to PATH.

$30.00 – $80.00The Silver Line is the newest section of the Washington DC Metro with the section between East Falls Church and Wiehle-Reston East opened in July 2014 and the extension to Dulles Airport and Ashburn opened in 2022. The Silver Line shares much of its track with both the Orange and Blue Lines as it runs through downtown DC but branches off the Orange Line after East Falls Church station.
The Silver Line was built in most places along the median of the Dulles Access Road which itself was built in the 1960s with space left for a future rail line. Besides providing a direct link between DC and Dulles the Silver Line is also designed to mitigate the suburban sprawl in the Virginia suburbs which developed after the highway was opened. Tysons Corner, especially, will benefit as the Silver Line was routed through the center of town in order to support more traditional urban developments.

$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.
