QUENTINSBURGH- It’s official. QUARTA has officially finished construction of express tracks on subway lines 1, 4, and 7. Express service will begin running on Wednesday, May 6th. Passengers should make sure they check the screen at the front of the train. If there is an X after the number, ex. (1)x, the train is running express and will skip many local stops. This is the first service of it’s kind in the QUARTA system, as routes were built with local capacity only.

This new service should greatly help if Quentinsburgh wins the 2016 Geolympiad bid, especially on Line 4. There are more venues on line 4 than on any other metro line in the city. The express service should make it possible to nearly double capacity on line 4, reducing overcrowding.

Lines 1 and 7 have also officially switched paths south of Freeman Rd/Mark St. Line 1 now runs to Quentins Point Beach, while line 7 now runs to Sean Bond International Airport and Geolympiad Village. This service also begins on Wednesday.
