Which is probably what was meant. Green should be extended to Laurel, Orange to Bowie, Blue is fine as is. That would be better.
It just seems redundant to have Metro when MARC plies essentially the same route (95/295 corridor), doesn't it? I think another line through downtown should take priority, although the cost is astronomically more than extending Metro to the outer suburbs.
If MARC revised their schedules and ran everyday, then yes, I agree.
Does downtown really need another line?
