Recent changes, history of MBTA's Green Line

14.33    

Boston's first subway had its inaugural run Sept. 1, 1897, which means MBTA's Green Line is 115 years old.


The oldest subway in the country is also the busiest street car line in the country, carrying 232,000 people daily. The squealing train wheels, the street-level boarding, competition with cars in the street, and limited runs that sums up the Green Line today can be traced back to its early development more than a hundred years ago.


Take a look at its history, latest developments, and future plans.
