==== Rush Plus ====
In 2012, WMATA announced enhanced rush period service that was implemented on June 18, 2012, under the name "Rush+" (or "Rush Plus"). Rush Plus service occurred only during portions of peak service: 6:30–9:00 AM and 3:30–6:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

The Rush+ realignment was intended to free up space in the Rosslyn Portal (the tunnel between Rosslyn and Foggy Bottom), which operates at full capacity already. When Silver Line service began, those trains would be routed through the tunnel, and so some of what were Blue Line trains to {{wmata|Largo}} were now diverted across the [[14th Street bridges|Fenwick Bridge]] to become Yellow Line trains running all the way along the Green Line to {{wmata|Greenbelt}}. Select Yellow Line trains running south diverted along the Blue Line to {{wmata|Franconia–Springfield}} (as opposed to the normal Yellow line terminus at {{wmata|Huntington}}). Until the start of Silver Line service, excess Rosslyn Tunnel capacity was used by additional Orange Line trains that traveled along the Blue Line to Largo (as opposed to the normal Orange Line terminus at {{wmata|New Carrollton}}). Rush+ had the additional effect of giving some further number of passengers transfer-free journeys, though severely increasing headways for the portion of the Blue Line running between {{wmata|Pentagon}} and {{wmata|Rosslyn}}. In May 2017, Metro announced that Yellow Rush+ service would be eliminated effective June 25, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Metro announces June 25 effective date for new hours, fares, schedules|url=https://www.wmata.com/about/news/06-17_Metro_Fare_and_Service_Changes.cfm|publisher=Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority|access-date=June 11, 2017|archive-date=June 11, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170611201639/https://www.wmata.com/about/news/06-17_Metro_Fare_and_Service_Changes.cfm|url-status=live}}</ref>
