Stations are indicated by small white circles. Double circles indicate transfer points. Lines running adjacently on the map indicate shared track, in which case both lines are available from stations along that portion of the system. Dashed lines indicated Rush Plus service. During rush times, some orange and yellow line trains will travel on this path instead of their usual path. This is indicated on trains and station information boards by the train's destination station. If traveling during rush periods to stations where these trains deviate from their regular route, pay special attention to each train's final station.
