However; unlike the R1 Metrobus Route, which only operated on Adelphi Road between New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650) & Edwards Way only in the south direction to its Adelphi terminus at the intersection of Edwards Way & Riggs Road (MD 212), the C8 Metrobus Route operated on Adelphi Road in both the north and south directions between the intersections of Edwards Way & New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650).
