User:Luciano/Sandbox/RouteRelations/RUTA/MetroVC Line 1
The Villa Constitución Metro Line 1, commonly called the Línea Verde (or "Green Line") is the oldest metro line in the city, and is part of the integrated public transit network called RUTA-VC. Referencing the line has become a shorthand way of describing the most built-up parts of the city, which essentially lie along its path between the old downtown at Plaza Manzano and the thriving "uptown" districts around the Plaza Avenida Setenta-y-Nueve. Villanos do not say they are going "downtown" ("al centro") or "into the city" (a la ciudad") - they say they're going to the Green Line ("a la Línea Verde").
History
The stretch between Puerto Viejo and Avenida 79 was built in 1914 for the Centennial Exposition (the exposition park at Avenida 26 station), with the northward extension through the Universidad Autónoma del DF to the Imperio neighborhood being added in the 1940s. Many of the stations on the older part were designed by the famous architect and artist Francisco Parker Santangelo. The station at Ópera, for example, has interiors in the same style as the nearby Opera Hall which he also designed, with extensive bas-relief murals on nearly every wall and detailed mosaics on the floor. Some people visit the station as a destination in itself, as a kind of art museum, along with other stations such as Desolado, Helechos and Calle 48.
Route
The overall route is "tilted chevron" shape. It run east-northeastward in slightly zig-zag form, from the waterfront at downtown to the Plaza de Armas, first along Calle Paredes, then along the Diagonal Central and Avenida 11. From the Plaza de Armas and the city government offices at the northwest corner of Parque de Fundadores, it trends directly northeastward along Diagonal Gobierno, past the Cisnes neighborhood, then northward again along Calle 101 past the the national Congress, then northeastward along Avenida Constitución until it reaches the Plaza Setenta-y-Nueve and the Bellas Artes neighborhood, from where it projects straight northward to Imperio, along Calle 108 paralleling the western border of the Gran Bosque.
Ardispherians have a joke that brags that the Green Line is "the only subway line visible from space" - this is not literarlly true, but because the highest-density parts of their capital follow the Green Line's path closely for most of its length, the general course of it is clearly visible as a "greyer" area on satellite photos. The population density of a band one kilometer wide along the Green Line is the highest in the country, and more than a million people live within close walking distance of a station.
The Green Line has 39 stations and a total running length of 40.9 km.
