The Tremont Street Subway in Boston's MBTA subway system is the oldest subway tunnel in North America and the third oldest worldwide to exclusively use electric traction (after the City and South London Railway in 1890, and the Budapest Metro's Line 1 in 1896), opening on September 1, 1897.〔The Boston Daily Globe, ("First Car off the Earth: Allston Electric Goes into the subway on schedule time." ), The Boston Daily Globe, September 1, 1897. Experiences of the first Subway Riders in Boston.〕 It was originally built to get streetcar lines off the traffic-clogged streets, instead of as a true rapid transit line. It now forms the central part of the Green Line, connecting Boylston Street to Park Street and Government Center stations. The tunnel originally served four closely spaced stations, at Boylston Street, Park Street, Scollay Square, and Adams Square. The latter two stations were substantially altered when Government Center and a new Boston City Hall replaced Scollay Square and Adams Square in 1963. A new Government Center station opened, Adams Square station was closed, and Scollay Square station was completely absorbed into the new station. The northbound tunnel to Haymarket station was rerouted; the southbound tunnel is still original. ==Disused southern tunnel branch== (詳細はPleasant Street Incline (depicted in the photo at the right). This portal was used by streetcars that went southwest to Egleston via the South End, along Tremont Street (route 43), or southeast to City Point in South Boston via Broadway (route 9). Streetcar service through the southern portal ended in 1961; for the last several months, service consisted of a shuttle between the top of the portal and Boylston station. The tunnel still exists, dead-ended at the now-buried portal, which has been converted to a public park.
