A surprisingly good survey.

I answered:

- Striped line (rather than dashed) for part-time services
- Leave the map as is (no dots) for reduced rush hour service
- Completely confusing for dots in circles at intermediate terminals (it's too similar to their interchange device; they should change their signage to Eastbound/Westbound etc, rather than relying on outer terminals)
- Rush Hours/Non-Rush Hours (rather than Peak/Off-Peak — it's about service levels, not fares)
- Yes, show operating times on the map
- Call the Dulles extension a branch of the Orange Line, not the Silver Line (to both questions)
- Don't show future stations and service
- The grey cartouche for the Dulles bus at Rosslyn
- The blue P symbols for parking
- The proposed terminal RD marker, rather than writing RED LINE alongside the Red Line (although really, I wish they'd put a neither option in there: you'd have to be pretty dumb not to be able to tell that the Red Line was not drawn in blue, orange, yellow, or green)
- Yes, remove the prohibitions from the map (they have no wayfinding purpose whatsoever)
