TRAVEL : CTA : Rail Map CTA ‘L’ (Train Service)
Our rail system consists of train lines spanning the city and neighboring communities, and is known locally as “The ‘L’.” The service provided is described as “heavy rail rapid transit,” also referred to as a “subway” or “metro” in many parts of the world.
Today’s ‘L’ system has eight rapid transit routes and consists of 245 stations over approximately 242.2 miles of track. Parts of the ‘L’ run above ground, in subway tunnels and tubes, as well as at grade or in expressway medians. Two routes--the Red and Blue Lines--operate 24 hours, every day.
The nickname ‘L’ is short for “elevated,” a reference to the all-elevated beginnings of the system (even though, as just mentioned, parts of the system today are at or below ground).
Free transfer between all ‘L’ routes is available at designated locations (see route guides or maps for free transfer locations)
