The LYNX Blue Line, located on an elevated platform above East Trade Street, is a light rail line that connects to South End and several park and ride lots along South Boulevard.[5] It operates everyday with 10 to 30-minute frequency, depending on time of day.[7] Access to the Blue Line station is by stairs or elevator from inside the CTC and then by outdoor walkway along the light rail tracks.
