History
The Green Line was the third of BART's five rapid transit lines to open. Transbay service began when the Transbay Tube opened on September 16, 1974, connecting the Montgomery Street–Daly City section (opened November 5, 1973) with the East Bay sections of the system. Initial Transbay service was two lines: the Yellow Line and the Green Line. The extension to Warm Springs/South Fremont station opened on March 25, 2017. Until September 10, 2018, Saturday service on the line only ran to Fremont station.

Why this record matters
“Green Line (BART)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Green, Line and BART provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3720557. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 1974, 1973 and 2017.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
