I find the dots/bars at the north end of the Yellow Line really confusing.

With the new service, there is always YL service to Fort Totten. The fact that some trains don't go that far is already implied by MVS being a terminal station. So the dots from MVS to Fort Totten seem unnecessary. What might need explaining is that you can't board from Huntington/Eisenhower Ave during peak times --- but that isn't specific to the stretch from MVS to FT.

The bars passed that going on to Greebelt make sense since the service is specific *both* to peak times and to the service that is indicated also with bars on the south end of the line.

So I'd rather see solid yellow through Fort Totten to indicate service at all times (even if peak service is less than off-peak service?), but with a note near Eisenhower Ave --- not at the north end where the map is very crowded --- indicating trains stop at MVS.
