Green Line (Washington Metro)
The Green Line is one of the six heavy rail subway lines that make up the Washington Metro rapid transit system in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The Green Line consists of 21 stations, with termini at Branch Avenue and at Greenbelt. The Green Line runs through Prince George's County, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. It was the last line in the original Metrorail plan to be constructed, and is one of three north–south lines through the city of Washington. It shares nine stations with the Yellow Line (13 stations during rush hour), one station with the Blue, Silver and Orange lines, and two stations with the Red Line.
The Green Line requires 19 trains (10 eight-car trains and nine six-car trains, consisting of 134 rail cars) to run at peak capacity.
==History ==
Planning for Metro began with the Mass Transportation Survey in 1955 which attempted to forecast both freeway and mass transit systems sufficient to meet the needs of the region projected for 1980.〔Schrag at p. 33-38.〕 In 1959, the study's final report included two rapid transit lines which anticipated subways in downtown Washington.〔Schrag at p. 39.〕 Because the plan called for extensive freeway construction within the District of Columbia, alarmed residents lobbied for legislation which both created a new transportation agency and blocked freeway construction.〔Schrag at p. 42.〕 The agency, the National Capital Transportation Administration, issued a 1962 ''Transportation in the National Capital Region'' report, which did not include the route that became the Green Line.〔Schrag at p. 55.〕 A central route under 7th Street in downtown was only added in 1967 primarily to serve the "inner city."〔Schrag at p. 112.〕
In March 1968, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) board approved its Adopted Regional System (ARS) which included the Green Line from Branch Avenue to Greenbelt. It also foresaw possible future extensions to Laurel, Maryland and Brandywine, Maryland.〔Schrag at p. 117.〕
