train line

Commuter's daily path

A train line is a railway route connecting stations along a fixed path, operated as a single service: The Blue Line runs from downtown to the airport.

Train lines are identified by names, numbers, or colors, particularly in urban transit systems.

The term also refers to the infrastructure—tracks, stations, and signals—that make up such a route.
