A Metro train, marked "Green Line Extension" and "2027," is stopped at Southwest Station. The "2027" designation likely refers to the planned completion year for the Green Line Extension project, a significant transit development aimed at expanding public transportation access in the region. Southwest Station serves as a key hub for this network, facilitating commuter travel and connecting various parts of the metropolitan area. The train's livery, a combination of green and yellow, is characteristic of the local transit authority's branding.
