It's a matter of when the geography of Metro service makes a certain trip take longer. For example, my CaBi trip from Union Station to Benning Road Library took 24 minutes. I can't get WMATA Trip Planner to give me a time less than 30 minutes by rail, though by the X1, I could get there in 25 minutes - a time that would still put that trip under the red line in the chart. By rail I have to go some distance out of my way to Metro Center just to backtrack in the direction of the Minnesota Ave metro. I'd also have to walk from there to the library whereas there's a CaBi station right outside.

Another example might be a trip from Howard University to Brookland Metro - I'm guessing a 15 to 20 minute ride. There's an out of the way rail transfer, circuitous bus service, but a fairly direct path for a cyclist.
