Green Line

Boston subway branch

The Green Line most often refers to specific boundaries or transit routes.

In the Middle East, it designates the 1949 armistice line between Israel and its neighbors, particularly relevant to discussions of the West Bank.

In urban transit, Green Line names rail routes in cities like Boston, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles: The Green Line runs through downtown.

In Beirut, it was the demarcation line dividing the city during the Lebanese Civil War. (Lowercase green line is any boundary or transit route marked in green.)
