Michael, my thoughts exactly. Either WMATA could offer an online wizard to generate your own (put in your usual to/from, and voila, it spits it out in a format ready to print + fold + cut), or a third party could create the wizard as a "mashup" of WMATA's data.

You could do it yourself Or businesses, civic associations, etc. could print them in bulk (maybe adding their logo) and give them away for free.

They should always include some standard info, though:

Date generated (printed bus maps and PDFs include this, so you can check if it's outdated)
Disclaimer about checking wmata.com (or their phone number) for the latest information
Info on using NextBus

But yes, I can see how these would fill a need (smaller and easier to use than bus maps), and it'd be a low-/no-cost solution.
