It is the CTA's second busiest rail line, with an average of 186,796 passengers boarding each weekday in September 2012. The route's full length is 34.6 miles (55.7 km) with a total of 33 stations.The Blue Line and Red Line are the only two routes of the CTA rail system to currently run 24 hours a day and is one of only six mass-transit rail lines in the United States to do so (the others being the PATCO Speedline, Staten Island Railway, the PATH lines, one line of Minneapolis-St. Paul's METRO and the New York City Subway). The Blue Line is also one of only two lines with more than one station with the same name, with the Green Line being the other (It has two Harlem stations: one in the Kennedy Expressway on the Northwest side and one on the south side of the Eisenhower Expressway on the West Side. It also has two Western stations: one on the Milwaukee Elevated and one on the Congress branch). The Blue Line also has only three in-system 'L' train transfers (all in the downtown area), contains a combination of both the oldest and newest portions of 'L' tracks, and is the only line to not share tracks with any other 'L' train services.Before the adoption of color-coded names, the Blue Line was referred to as the West-Northwest Route (which it is still sometimes referred to as today) or more commonly, the O'Hare-Congress-Douglas route for its three branches. The Congress and Douglas branches were renamed for their respective terminals, Forest Park and 54th/Cermak, when the current color naming system was adopted in 1993. Blue Line service on the Douglas Branch was discontinued in April 2008 and replaced with the Pink Line.The Blue Line is one of the 5 rail lines that run into Chicago suburbs, with the others being the Green, Purple, Pink, and Yellow lines. The Blue and Purple Lines are the only two rail lines that run through more than one suburb, with the Purple Line running through two, but the Blue Line actually runs through three, making it the rail line that runs through the most suburbs on the CTA system."@en }
