WMATA to increase weekday train frequency on February 7 and 21, increase number of 8-car trains (Orange Line will have all 8 car trains starting 2/7)FrogMan9001 t1_j5zcm48 wrote
Wonderfully quick restoration of service! After 497 days 2 out of 6 lines will have service every 8 minutes and on one of those lines it won't even be for all service hours.
To be fair green line actually has better service than right before the derailment. But that may just be because it's running more frequently to compensate for the yellow line.

This is the case. There is no redundancy on green, and those people are also impacted by significant delays if their journey was originally to be on Yellow across the river, so green has been somewhat prioritized.
It's also why they're running Blue and Blue + trains, with the latter being the Blue line except where it diverts and covers the Yellow line tail in VA to Huntington.
