Miscellaneous
Until the privatization of the metro in the 1990s, the D line was identified by the red color; whilst the B line used green. The switch was perceived to be an annoying re-branding effort.
The D line and the E line share their car stock.
The D line runs from the downtown district to the elegant northern neighborhoods of Palermo and Belgrano. The expansion works of the 1990s (Olleros to Congreso) feature an increased distance between stations (approx 900 m, as opposed to 500 m or less in the older stretch).
Catedral station on the financial district is a good starting point for tourists wishing to explore the Plaza de Mayo, San Telmo and Florida Street.
While Callao station was noted for its sketchy murals (widely reputed as ugly), many other stations feature mayólicas (traditional tile art) describing scenes of Argentine history and rural life.
Bulnes station is connected to the Alto Palermo shopping mall.
Plaza Italia station is a starting point for many Sunday trips to the Zoo, the Botanic park, and the parks of Palermo.
Palermo and Ministro Carranza stations can be used for combination with suburban train lines, but passengers must go out to the street and re-enter; also, no combination tickets are sold.
The name Ministro Carranza, after a Radical Civic Union politician, is used in lieu of Dorrego, to avoid name duplication with the B line. There were two Agüero stations (lines B and D) until the B line changed its station name to Carlos Gardel in the 1980s. The Callao and Pueyrredón names are still shared with the B line.
Congreso de Tucumán was named after the Tucumán sessions in which Argentine independence was declared 9 July 1816.
