My friend Cassandra does not own a car. That's OK though, many people who live in Boston don't own cars, they ride the subway. Flat Lucas told me he had never ridden a subway before so it was fun to show him what it was all about. A subway is a train that runs underground--underneath the city. The train only stops at specific places (called subway stops). You can reach these stops by walking down flights of stairs (or escalators) that take you underground. Other big cities like Boston have subways: New York City, Paris, France, London, England.
Here's a map of the subway routes. Each color represents a different route in Boston. Look how many places you can go! Can you spot the green line? Portions of the green line were opened in 1897 (more than 100 years ago) making it the first subway in the United States!
Cassandra only lives two blocks away from her subway stop, which takes her to school, the grocery store, her friend's houses--basically anywhere she wants to go. While Flat Lucas and I were in Boston, we rode the subway often. Here are some photos!
