@ Steven Yates:But the only people that are seeing fewer Metro trains to VRE stations essentially are reverse commuters

Euhm no? Arriving VRE riders will see less Blue Lines in the morning, and returning VRE riders will see larger gaps between (some) Blue Line trains in the afternoon.

Look, my point is that many people do not live in a highly regular schedule. Metro, buses and VRE do. So, if you need to catch a bus or VRE train, you learn how to arrive in time. This is not very hard when you have regular intervals between trains. It becomes a lot harder when there are irregular intervals (6 or 12 minutes). The lack of regularity means that you have to increase your "safety buffer", which increases your commute.
