History

The Green Line was the third of BART's five rapid transit lines to open. Transbay service began when the Transbay Tube opened on September 16, 1974, connecting the Montgomery Street–Daly City section (opened November 5, 1973) with the East Bay sections of the system. Initial Transbay service was two lines: the Yellow Line and the Green Line.^[3] The extension to Warm Springs/South Fremont station opened on March 25, 2017.^[4] Until September 10, 2018, Saturday service on the line only ran to Fremont station.^[5]

A second extension to Berryessa/North San José station as part of the Silicon Valley extension project opened on June 13, 2020.^[6][7] The full extension is planned to eventually reach 28th Street/Little Portugal, Downtown San Jose, Diridon, and Santa Clara stations in 2029 or 2030.
