Very close to the "D" <b>lineb>'s Reservoir station is Cleveland Circle, the endpoint of the <b>Greenb> <b>Lineb>'s "C" route.
Because the stations are further apart than on the "B", "C", and "E" lines (which mostly run in reserved median rights-of-way), the "D" trolleys can attain speeds of 50 mph between stations.
We will be on the unique portion of the <b>lineb> first, before it joins the other three branches just before Copley Square.

The other branches of the <b>Greenb> <b>lineb> are still serviced by Kinki Sharyo cars with an average manufacturing date of 1986, many of which have become mechanically unreliable due to their age, often resulting in long delays in service during cold weather.

Service termination occurred for the <b>Greenb> <b>Lineb> Shortcut from the outer <b>Greenb> <b>Lineb> to the Red <b>Lineb> to downtown D.C., since <b>Greenb> <b>Lineb> trains now had their own direct route to the downtown, as was planned from the beginning of the 103-mile-long Authorized Regional System of 1968.
The one remaining unopened Metro segment was the 6.5 miles of the Branch Avenue Route (F Route) between Anacostia Station and Branch Avenue Station, with its 5 stations, and that section opened on January 13, 2001.

Still mostly working-class, these areas have bus lines so that people can get to their jobs downtown, but the trip is enough of a hassle to discourage them from coming in on nights and weekends.

Station is the terminal station of the Branch Avenue Route (F Route), which carries <b>Greenb> <b>Lineb> trains.

Branch Avenue is also Route MD-5, and serves as an arterial highway between southeastern D.C. and southern Prince George's County, Maryland, and it has a cloverleaf interchange with the Beltway.
