Number 2. Absolutely. It makes no sense that every other northbound train will stop before hitting Ward 1, the densest part of the city. I currently take green/yellow from U St to orange/blue/silver for my job, but if I have to take *three* trains I'm just gonna give up.

Why would you have to take three trains?

The Green Line will continue to serve U Street and you can continue to transfer to the OR/BL/SV lines at L'Enfant Plaza as you do today.

Sorry, you're right. I guess I was thinking of all the times when it was that way before that I'd get on a yellow train without thinking and end up having to get off at Mt V Square and wait for green. Effectively three trains there. :) It just doesn't make sense to me that they're talking about reducing intervals, but for all of us who live north of downtown it would mean just the opposite.
