There are many different S (shuttle) lines currently in operation in the system.  These trains serve one of two purposes:

• To serve stations when the normal train does not serve them (late nights).
• To serve a few stations that are not served by any of the larger lines.

Currently, there are four shuttle trains in operation.  Below is a table of the shuttles and their downtown and uptown destinations.  Please click on one to get detailed information.
