What is "yellow line"

The Yellow Line, formerly known as the Skokie Swift, is part of the Chicago Transit Authority's "L" system in Chicago, Illinois. The route runs from the Howard Terminal on the north side of Chicago, through the southern part of Evanston and to the Dempster Terminal in Skokie, Illinois, making one intermediate stop at Oakton Street in Skokie.

At Howard, Yellow Line passengers can transfer to the Purple or Red Lines of the CTA. The Yellow Line is the only CTA line that does not go to The Loop and is the only Chicago "L" train route that is fully ADA accessible. It is also unique in that it runs in a below-grade trench for part of its length, even though it has no subway components and does not run in an expressway median. It also includes grade segments and crossings at the northern portion of the line. It was built using the tracks of the former Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad's high-speed Skokie Valley Route.

Extending the line to Old Orchard Mall in Skokie has been discussed. At one time, the line had several intermediate stops in Evanston and Skokie, but these stations have long been out of use and dismantled. In June 2010, however, construction began on a new station at Oakton, which opened on April 30, 2012.

Trains operate using the Bombardier-built 5000-series railcars; each train consists of two cars, with 10 to 12 minutes of headway between trains. From Dempster-Skokie to Howard, trains operate daily between 5:00am and 11:15pm on weekdays, and between 6:30am and 11:15pm on weekends and holidays; from Howard to Dempster-Skokie, trains operate between 4:45am to 11:00pm on weekdays, and between 6:15am and 11:00pm on weekends and holidays. Average weekday boardings of 7,063 were reported in September 2012. Until late 2009, the Yellow Line was operated with Morrison-Knudsen-built 3200-Series cars that were specially equipped with roof boards that until late 2004 held pantographs. (The roof boards remain on cars 3441-3456 to this day even after they were all officially reassigned to the Brown Line.), Occasionally, the Yellow Line borrows cars from the Red Line when short on cars.

The Yellow Line , formerly also known as Line 4 , is one of the Montreal Metro's four routes operating in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was popular when it opened for service because it connected Montreal's city centre with the Expo 67 exhibition and La Ronde on Île-Sainte-Hélène. The Yellow Line has three stations, and travels under the St. Lawrence River between the island of Montreal and Longueuil. It was part of the initial network of the Metro, and numbered in conjunction with Line 3, a route that was later cancelled. It is also the first Metro line to leave the island. All three stations on the line have been renamed since their opening.

The Yellow Line is one of the lines of the Delhi Metro, a rapid transit system in Delhi, India. It consists of 37 metro stations from Samaypur Badli in Delhi to HUDA City Centre in the neighbouring city of Gurgaon. The line with a length of is mostly underground and has been laid under one of the most congested parts of Delhi. The underground stretch from Vishwa Vidyalaya — Kashmere Gate, constructed by Kumagai-Skanska-HCC-Itochu Joint Venture (KSHI-JV) is the first section of the underground Delhi Metro line which was inaugurated on 20 December 2004. KSHI-JV is a joint venture between Kumagai Gumi, Skanska, Hindustan Construction Company & Itochu. It is the 2nd longest metro line on the Delhi Metro network. This line covers Outer Delhi, North Delhi, through Central Delhi and South Delhi and finally Gurgaon.

The Yellow line has interchanges with the Red, Blue and Violet lines of the Delhi Metro, as well as with the Old Delhi and New Delhi railway stations of the Indian Railways. The Line also connects with the Airport Express Line at New Delhi station. Chawri Bazar is the deepest station of the Delhi Metro network and is situated about 30 metres (98 ft) below ground level and has 18 escalators, the most in any Delhi Metro station.

The Yellow Line is a mass transit line proposed by the Baltimore Regional Rail Plan in March 2002 for the Baltimore, Maryland area. It would begin at Columbia Town Center in Columbia, Maryland, and end in Hunt Valley, Maryland at Shawan Road.

The Yellow Line (Portuguese: Linha Amarela) is an expressway linking Cidade Universitária and Jacarepaguá in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The road is officially known as Avenida Governador Carlos Lacerda.

The Yellow Line of the Washington Metro consists of 17 rapid transit stations from Huntington or Franconia Springfield in Virginia to either Mount Vernon Square (where most peak hours trains terminate), Fort Totten (at all times, but with limited peak hours service) or Greenbelt (served only during peak hours). During rush hours, a small handful of trains run from Franconia Springfield to Greenbelt and the final two trains which depart from Huntington before afternoon peak service continue north to Greenbelt. Additional Yellow Line trains may continue passenger service to Greenbelt during off-peak hours and weekends in order to stage them for Green Line service or for storage at the Greenbelt rail yard. In non rush/peak hours, almost all regularly scheduled trains run to Fort Totten.

As a result of Metro's "Rush Plus" services, started on June 18, 2012, the Yellow Line now sees some peak hours trains ending at Greenbelt in Maryland and some trains originating from Franconia Springfield in Virginia. The additional result of Rush Plus is that the section of the Yellow Line between Shaw–Howard University and Fort Totten sees more off-peak hours service than peak hours service from the Yellow Line, however, all stations along that section are also served by the Green Line.

The line starts in Fairfax County, Virginia, crosses the Capital Beltway, joins the Blue line, and goes through Alexandria and Arlington, it leaves the Blue Line as it crosses the Potomac River, and continues north into the District of Columbia, and then Maryland, during peak hours.

The line shares tracks with the Green Line from L'Enfant Plaza northward to Fort Totten and Greenbelt. It is a quick link between downtown Washington and National Airport, and shares nearly all of its track with either the Green or Blue Line. The Yellow Line has only two stations that are not shared by any other lines ( Eisenhower Avenue and Huntington), and only two sections of track that are not shared by any other lines – the section at the south end of the line, and the section between the Pentagon and L'Enfant Plaza stations, crossing the Potomac.
