An even bigger question is how Metro will deal with overcrowding. From what I've heard, the trains on the Dulles line will have to alternate with trains on the Orange Line between DC and West Falls Church, cutting Orange Line service in half west of West Falls Church.

If you've ever taken the Orange Line to or from Vienna at rush hour, you'll know that the trains (and the parking garages) are already at capacity.
