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.{{BART History}} The extension to Warm Springs/South Fremont station opened on March 25, 2017.{{cite press release |url=https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2017/news20170323 |title=Community celebrates ribbon cutting of Warm Springs |publisher=Bay Area Rapid Transit District |date=March 24, 2017}} Until September 10, 2018, Saturday service on the line only ran to Fremont station.{{cite press release |url=https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2018/news20180907 |title=Direct service to/from Warm Springs now available as part of schedule change |date=September 7, 2018 |publisher=Bay Area Rapid Transit District}}
