Price range: $30.00 through $80.00In 1912 the Red Line benefited from being the last of the original subways in Boston to open. A decade of subway building allowed the Red Line to be designed with larger trains and platforms that were easier to navigate (unlike the disconnected Orange Line platforms). Planned as an elevated subway until the citizens of Cambridge objected, the original route connected Harvard Sq. with Park St. At Harvard Sq. a parallel subway was built for trolleys to transfer commuters from the northwestern suburbs and is still in use today.
The Red Line was quickly extended to South Boston and large transfer stations were built at Broadway and Andrew Sq. to collect trolley (and later bus) commuters coming from Dorchester.
In 1926 and 1927 the Red Line was extended to Ashmont in Dorchester along the route of and old commuter rail road. Though the subway was proposed to be extended further to Mattapan the residents of Milton and southern Dorchester opted for a high speed trolley route instead, pre-dating the concept of light rail.
Plans were drawn up to create a new branch of the Red Line to Braintree as early as 1945 but construction didn’t begin for another 20 years. First to Quincy in 1971 and finally to Braintree in 1980 the new branch was designed to bypass Dorchester for a quicker commute.
At the other end the Red Line was extended northwest from Harvard Sq. to Alewife in 1985. Originally planned to run out to Lexington along the abandoned Boston and Maine Railroad the line was cut back when residents of Arlington protested.
The Red Line runs two heavy rail routes, Alewife-Ashmont and Alewife-Braintree (which skips Savin Hill).
A light rail section runs from Ashmont to Mattapan using refurbished PPC trolleys from the 1940s.

Price range: $30.00 through $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.

Price range: $30.00 through $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.

Price range: $30.00 through $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.
