John, you ROCK! And not just because we share a first name either. Thanks, man!

Hm... not as envisioned, but as suspected. While each code controls both destination and route (I figured you just programmed whatever destination, and chose your color separately), there is MUCH mixing between the four "shared" routes (Orange/Blue/Yellow/Green)

REAGAN NAT APT? WHAT??? I recall seeing "NATIONAL AIRPORT" in 2002, which was STILL after the renaming...

Hm... Takoma, Dupont Circle, and (surprisingly) Pentagon (City) are missing... But NY Ave is there, and it hasn't been mentioned as a terminal station... WhyMATA???

Shocking to see omitted: Friendship Heights, Wheaton, L'Enfant Plaza, King Street. Also, Dulles is on there already, despite them missing the stations with potential terminal usage that'd likely open BEFORE Dulles (unless they do that entire line a fas as Dulles at once, as they are doing with the Blue now)... WMATA is VERY focused on the future.

Oh, and WMATA STILL sticks with "VIENNA"... they CAN fit "-Fairfax" at least, right... wait, then no bordering stripes... "VIENNA-FRX", perhaps?
