Operational

Open to the public. Count it in today's commute.

Under construction

Work has started. It is not part of today's commute, and its opening date can move.

Sanctioned

Approved, sometimes with funding, sometimes without construction started. Treat it as a possibility.

Proposed

Planned or under study. It may change route, stations or happen not at all. Do not let it decide a twenty year purchase.
