On Monday it wasn't that bad (riding the red line from NoMA to the Silver Line to IAD-ish only had a 5 minute wait at Metro Center, probably spent longer waiting for the Silver Line Express to leave for the airport... based on my little train status display centered on NoMA station it seemed like the red line mostly kept to (reduced) schedule with only a couple minutes deviation here or there through most of today. But definitely... if someone is planning on metro allow extra time and if crowds make you queasy perhaps an alternate form of transit would be advised since all trains are 6-car and getting a little cozier than I've seen in a long time.
