    Today I am suggesting the Washington Metro Blue Line from Franconia-Springfield to King Street-Old Town. The route features two stations that are exclusive to the Blue Line ( Franconia-Springfield and Van Dorn Street). Trains run every 10 minutes on weekday rush hours, every 12 minutes during weekday off-peak hours, they also run every 12 hours on weekends and every 15 minutes after 9:30 pm daily. This route also includes the WMATA Alexandria Rail Yard.

    Service:
    Franconia-Springfield to Downtown Largo
    Station List:
    Franconia-Springfield

    Van Dorn Street
    King Street-Old Town

    The trains that run on this route are:
    Alstom 6000 Series
    Kawasaki 7000 Series
    Hitachi 8000 Series
    The service is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
    Time period: 2032

    The Washington Metro doesn’t have any safety systems installed on their trains.
