metro center pretty much sucks no matter what you're waiting for. but it is true that in rush hour they run orange trains twice as often as blue ones. granted, this is because more people ride the orange line, so the trains are generally more crowded -- but it does mean the wait for one is only half as long. :-)
I was wondering about that because if I get on any time before about 6:30 on the weekdays, I end up standing half way to Vienna. Which is always fun. Especially when the doors malfunction and everyone has to offload in Clarendon and try to get on another train and you have a screaming headache...Sorry. Bad Tuesday.
There was a thing in the Post today about all the new trains they bought and how a majority have gone to the red line because it actually has the highest volume. It then had a break down of what the average number of people per car would be with the new cars - orange line was like 99 people per car at peak and blue at 97.

And now I'm off to catch the train!
