The Chicago L is the rapid transit system serving the city of Chicago and some of its surrounding suburbs in the U.S. state of Illinois. It is operated by the Chicago Transit Authority . It is the fourth-largest rapid transit system in the United States in terms of total route length, at 102.8 miles long, and the second-busiest rail mass transit system in the United States, after the New York City Subway.Chicago's L provides 24-hour service on some portions of its network, being one of only five rapid transit systems in the United States to do so. The oldest sections of the Chicago L started operations in 1892, making it the second-oldest rapid transit system in the Americas, after New York City's elevated lines. The L has been credited with fostering the growth of Chicago's dense city core that is one of the city's distinguishing features. The L consists of eight rapid transit lines laid out in a spoke–hub distribution paradigm focusing transit towards the Loop. Although the L gained its name because large parts of the system are elevated, portions of the network are also in subway tunnels, at grade level, or open cut.In 2014, the L had an average of 752,734 passenger boardings each weekday, 486,267 each Saturday, and 359,777 each Sunday. In a 2005 poll, Chicago Tribune readers voted it one of the seven wonders of Chicago, behind the lakefront and Wrigley Field, but ahead of Willis Tower , the Water Tower, the University of Chicago, and the Museum of Science and Industry.
