Miscellaneous Until the privatization of subte 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 in the earlier works). Catedral station 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 maylicas (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. Access to the train station is not smooth, as it requires going out to the street and re-entering. No combination tickets are sold. The name Ministro Carranza, after a Radical Civic Union politician, is uses in lieu of Dorrego, to avoid name duplication with the B line. There were two Agero stations (lines B and D) until the B line changed its station name to Carlos Gardel in the 1980s. The Callao and Pueyrredn names are shared with the B line. Congreso de Tucumn is named after Congreso street.
