@Jasper, @charlie, @Rush Minus:
I'm sorry if I didn't make this clear enough.

Court House and Clarendon and Ballston and Vienna are all (A) west of Metro Center and (B) north of Pentagon.

What this means is that your trip may get longer by 6 minutes, if the train you were transferring to was a Blue converted to a Yellow.

I didn't think it was necessary to actually call out the Orange Line transfer, since I thought it was clear that those stations (and Rosslyn, the transfer station) are all in the area described as north of Pentagon and West of Metro Center.

I also didn't think it was necessary to mention the Orange Line stations in north Arlington because if you're changing at Rosslyn, you have to get to Rosslyn, and I did explicitly mention that trips to Rosslyn could increase by 6 minutes.

And one more thing, I only mention inbound trips. But the same math applies to outbound trips. A trip from Franconia to Rosslyn might increase by 6 minutes. A trip from Rosslyn to Franconia might also increase by 6 minutes. Everything true one way will be true in the reverse.

If you have other specific trips in mind, please take the time to use the Trip Planner.
