Virginians can benefit from using the new line to connect via Greenbelt to the B30 Metrobus to BWI and its range of less-expensive airlines. And Marylanders can get directly to National Airport.
The open box at the center allows Metro to start to approximate the really major subways of London and Paris, which allow a multiplicity of connections. The color for the new line? Brown is too boring. How about hot pink?

I don't care what color designation Metro uses for the Blue Line trains they're going to take away to "break jams" at Rosslyn. This is an absolutely disastrous plan.
This means less service for riders who live along the Blue Line corridor and work near Farragut West, McPherson Square and Metro Center -- very busy stations during commuting and business hours.
What are they supposed to do? Allocate an extra half-hour to their commutes to change trains at L'Enfant Plaza and backtrack through town? Aren't our fares the same as everyone else's?
