The Yokohama Municipal Subway consists of three lines: Line 1, Line 3 and Line 4. Line 1 and 3 are operated as a single line, nicknamed the Blue Line, and Line 4 is nicknamed the Green Line. The Blue Line and Green Line monikers came into official use upon addiing of this line to the network on March 30, 2008.
Transfer between the Blue and Green Line is possible at Center-Kita and Center-Minami Stations. Feeder bus services from the western Kawasaki City area run to Azamino Station.
The "missing" Line 2 was planned to run from Kanagawa-Shinmachi Station via Yokohama Station to Byobugaura Station.

Planned extensions
Blue Line
On 21 January 2020, Yokohama City and Kawasaki City announced the route and four new stations for the planned Template:Cvt extension of the Blue Line from Azamino Station to Shin-Yurigaoka Station on the Odakyū Odawara Line.[2][3] Construction of this section is expected to be completed by 2030.[2][3] In June 2020, the Transportation Bureau started environmental impact assessment procedures for the extension project.

Green Line
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The Green Line was built as part of a larger master plan to construct a circular line in Yokohama. The full line will be a C-shaped line that stretches from Tsurumi Station via Hiyoshi Station, Nakayama Station, Futamata-gawa Station, Higashi-Totsuka Station, Kamiōoka Station, and Negishi Station to Motomachi-Chūkagai Station.
Station numbering
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Numerical designations for the stations on the Blue Line were introduced in 2002, coinciding with Yokohama city hosting the finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the subway's 30th anniversary, starting from Shonandai station (1) to Azamino station (32). With 32 stations on the line and 32 teams in the World Cup, each station was themed after a country. Alphabetical designations were added when the Green Line opened. The Blue Line stations are B01 through B32, while the Green Line stations start from Nakayama Station (G01) to Hiyoshi Station (G10). At two stations—Center-Minami Station and Center-Kita Station—where both lines overlap, a different station number is attached to each route.
