It is the junction of the Orange Line and the Red Line, as well as a major bus transfer location serving 13 MBTA Bus routes including one Silver Line route. Downtown Crossing station is two levels deep. The upper Orange Line level, opened in 1908, stretches from Temple Place to Franklin Street under Washington Street. The lower Red Line level, opened in 1915, reaches from Washington Street to Chauncey Street under Winter Street. Downtown Crossing is the second busiest station in the MBTA network, with an average of 23,478 entries each weekday in 2013.〔 The Winter Street Concourse allows access within fare control to the Green Line at Park Street. ==History== The Washington Street Tunnel carrying the Main Line Elevated (later the Orange Line) opened on November 30, 1908.〔 Stations on the tunnel were built in pairs with different names and separate entrances, an appeasement to merchants on the street who desired maximal pedestrian traffic. Stations were located at Summer northbound with entrances at Summer Street and Franklin Street, and Winter southbound with entrances at Winter Street and Temple Place. The Dorchester Extension of the Cambridge Tunnel (now the Red Line) was built one level below the Washington Street Tunnel. Washington station opened on April 4, 1915, with additional entrances on Summer Street at Hawley Street and Chauncey Street.〔 As part of a systemwide rebranding by the newly formed MBTA, on January 23, 1967 the Orange Line platforms were renamed Washington as well.〔 On May 3, 1987, the name was changed again to Downtown Crossing after the surrounding retail district. Originally, the Orange Line level had an underground concourse with several direct access points to basement entrances of various stores in the district, such as Jordan Marsh (now Macy's) and the former Filene's department store. In 1979, the Winter Street Concourse was opened, connecting the upper level of Downtown Crossing station (inside fare control) to the upper level of Park Street station two blocks away, utilizing an existing but previously unopened section of the concourse. Both levels of the station were substantially renovated and accessibility was improved in the mid-1980s. Silver Line service from Downtown Crossing to Dudley Square began on July 24, 2002.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Downtown Crossing (MBTA station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
