While you at it, extend it all the way to Greenbelt.

It's a good thing that WMATA or the Washington Metropolitian area Transit Authorty has extended Yellow line to Fort Totten during off-peak and weekends.

"We listened to what community asked and needed," said Jim Graham, Metro Board Member who represents the District of Columbia. "During a Town Hall meeting last year, customers of the Columbia Heights, U Street and Petworth neighborhoods told us they wanted more train service because their neighborhoods were experiencing rapid development. Now, the Yellow Line extended service to Fort Totten will help support the area's development and urban lifestyle," he said.

The 18-month pilot costs $5.75 million and will be paid by the District of Columbia.

But I got a better idea: Extend the entire line to Greenbelt. Since sometimes I head down to Greenbelt Plaza Mall for window shopping and arcade games. But the trains on the green line on weekends sometimes reaches 10-12 minutes per train. The pilot's is going to be successful anyway by eight months at the most, so metro ought to buy more trains for the extended line.
