Matt, this statement is still misleading: "If you commute between Franconia-Springfield or Van Dorn Street and any station that is both north of Pentagon and west of Metro Center, your commute might be longer under Rush Plus."

The problem isn't limited to commuters from Franconia and Van Dorn -- anyone from south of the Pentagon risks a longer trip to Rosslyn and west. But WMATA analysed the frequency of those cases and determined that they can move just as many people by extending some Pentagon buses to Rosslyn. VA-110 rarely has traffic, even during rush hour, so those buses will move almost as fast as a train.

@GWJ: no station will see 12-minute headway. Four stations will see 6-minute headway, and the rest will see 3-minute headway. The only difference is that more trains will be headed in a direction that more people need to go. I agree about more longitudinal seating.
