This was to be the center hub of transfer connections for the mass metro subway plan of 1965. Construction did not begin until the early 1970s. Since the south line (now Central Light Rail) was withdrawn from the original plan because Anne Arundel County residents criticized that crime in the area will rise. The station for the 35 years had no connection to another rail service until 2018. The Red Line light rail will served the station with "free-in-station" connection and increase the volume of passenger traffic in the transit center. The upper- and mid-level walkways had no purpose since the south line (notice the south wall at mezzanine level) was eliminated from the plan, but will do so when the Red Line is completed.

Mezzanine levels:
*Upper-level - Patrons connecting to Red Line trains
*Mid-level - Patrons transferring from metro subway to Red Line trains
