Between 2011 and 2012, WMATA released a study on the Y lines.
At the time, the Y line was suffering from insufficient run time, inconvenient service frequencies, and operational issues the line has.
Proposals were to simplify the line, add time to schedule buses, combine bus stops together, improve amenities at bus stops, and convert route Y9 as a MetroExtra route.
These changes will go under short to long term plans.

At the time of the study, frequencies goes as the following:
Y5: Weekday Peak Hour service (AM to Silver Spring, PM to Olney) and Sunday service only.

Y7: Weekday Peak Hour service (AM to Silver Spring, PM to Olney) and late night Saturday service only.

Y8: Daily (except service in the Weekday Peak direction).
Most Saturday service only operates between SIlver Spring and Leisure World.

Y9: Daily direct between Silver Spring and Olney.
Most Sunday trips only operates between Medstar Montgomery Medical Center and Wheaton station.
