Rapid transit stations in Chicago
A current map depicting the eight rapid transit lines of the Chicago "L" system. Map is not drawn to scale. TheChicago "L" is arapid transit system that serves thecity of Chicago and seven of its surrounding suburbs. The system is operated by theChicago Transit Authority (CTA). On an average weekday, 759,866 passengers ride the "L",[ 1] third-busiest rapid transit system in the United States, behind theNew York City Subway and theWashington Metro .[ 2]
The system began as three separate companies, which built lines traveling from Chicago'scentral business district to the south and the west. The first of these was theChicago and South Side Rapid Transit Railroad which opened on June 6, 1892.[ 3] Lake Street Elevated Railroad opened the following year and theMetropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad followed in 1895. Initially, the "L" lines operated independently of each other, but in 1897, they were combined into one physically unified system with the completion of theUnion Loop and connecting trackage.[ 4] Northwestern Elevated Railroad entered operation,[ 5] hub and spoke distribution paradigm radiating north, west, and south fromdowntown Chicago . The system expanded outward from this with new branches or line extensions until 1930.
Due to the ruined financial state of the privately ownedChicago Rapid Transit Company and theChicago Surface Lines , a public agency (the CTA) was created in 1947 to take over and save the rapid transit and streetcar systems.[ 6] many stations and lines that saw little use in order to improve service and reduce costs. Expansion resumed in September 1969, with the opening of a new line in themedian of theDan Ryan Expressway and continued until October 31, 1993, with the opening of theOrange Line .[ 7] Pink Line , which opened on June 25, 2006, was created by rerouting theBlue Line 's Douglas branch into a separate service.[ 8]

North/Clybourn is the only station on the Red Line's subway component with fare controls above ground
One of several stations built on ground level,
Oakton–Skokie has head houses built at each end
The
Midway terminal features both an island platform and a side platform
The island platform at
Jackson/Dearborn conforms to the same structure that all the subway platforms in the Loop have
Noyes , unlike most stations, has a platform that is only long enough for six cars instead of the usual eight
Pedestrian access to
63rd is from the bridge spanning the Dan Ryan expressway. Most stations built in highway medians on the Chicago "L" are reached in this way
Like many stations,
Ashland/63rd is an elevated station. Accessibility is provided via an elevator to the station's platform
Argyle is one of several stations built on a concrete embankment
