20 minute's between trains in the core I can see, but add the 30 minute waits for outside of downtown. Assuming you arrive at a downtown red line a minute after the train leaves, this gives you a 19 minute wait. Then you have to transfer at Ft. Totten to the green line, again missing by a minute or two. You've just added ~48 minutes to a ~15 minute metro ride.

Another consideration, 30 minute waits at an outdoor transfer station (i.e. Ft. Totten), in January's 20 degree nights, is not motivating to ride the train when compared with a warm drive. This might not be so bad if Metro could figure out how to schedule transfer station lines to minimize the waits between lines, but I've lost any hope of that ever occurring.
