You know, looking at that timeline... I don't care if it's slightly before rush hour or not - 13 minute headways at ANY time are unacceptable for a major metropolitan mass transit system. Especially if they're scheduled that way.

And yes, this and everything else just scream for a WMATA with the balls to actually envision and invest for the long-term. A separated blue line, enough rolling stock and actual working ATO to run at 90 or 120-second headways, and some damn longitudinal seating in our 100% 8-car trains would go a long way towards making this system work for the next few decades.

But of course, by the time they actually get to planning this stuff, it will be obsolete for the future demands they're building it in anticipation of.
