During WMATA's Fiscal Year of 2015, they announced a series of proposals of simplification affecting the current routes U2, U4, U5, U6, U8, V7, V8, and V9. At the time of the proposals, the routes were suffering from on-time performances, and several bus bunching on the routes. Route U2 will have daily service at all times between Capitol Heights station and Anacostia station via the current U8 route between Capitol Heights station and Minnesota Avenue station via Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue, then via the current U2 route to Anacostia station. The reason for the changes was for enhance connectivity between points of regional demand, create a better balance of capacity and demand lines serving the Minnesota Avenue, and reduce or eliminate service with low productivity on the line. On June 21, 2015, route U2 was discontinued and replaced by new routes V2 and V4, which operate between the Anacostia station/Navy Yard–Ballpark station & Minnesota Avenue station, via U2's routing and also operate beyond Minnesota Avenue, all the way up to Capitol Heights station, to also replace U8's routing between the Minnesota Avenue & Capitol Heights stations as well.
