The first section of the new Line 4 was opened to the public on November 30, 2005 by President Ricardo Lagos Escobar running between Tobalaba station and Grecia station and between Vicente Valdés station - Plaza de Puente Alto station. The gap in the line between Grecia station and Vicente Valdés station was initially covered by Transantiago buses. Later, Los Presidentes station, Quilín station, Las Torres station, Macul station and Vicuña Mackenna station were opened to the public on March 2, 2006, connecting the first two sections.
