[edit] Numbering

Odd-numbered routes are typically part-time variants of even-numbered routes. At one time, odd numbered routes were express routes, but that distinction has been abandoned. Most D.C. and Maryland routes are grouped by their first digit. When this system was laid out in 1936, the following clustering was used:

Streetcars

• 1 Columbia Line
• 2 Cabin John Line
• 3 Pennsylvania Avenue Line
• 4 Mount Pleasant Line
• 5 Fourteenth Street Line
• 6 Eleventh Street Line
• 7 Seventh Street Line
• 8 Maryland Line and North Capitol Street Line
• 9 U Street Line

Buses

• A West Anacostia,
• B Bladensburg Road, Annapolis Road, Bowie
• C East Anacostia, Route 50 (towards Bowie)
• D Northwest, Suitland
• E Northwest, Northeast, Crosstown
• F Brookland, East-West Highway
• G Northwest, Brookland
• H Columbia Road
• J Silver Spring
• K New Hampshire Avenue
• L Connecticut Avenue
• M Pennsylvania Avenue, Congress Heights, Northwest
• N Massachusetts Avenue
• P Anacostia, North Capitol Street
• Q Veirs Mill Road, Maryland
• R Prince George's County
