Maybe it's not visible on the map, but it looks like there's
no easy connection from the western leg of the Red Line to
the Blue Line going to Georgetown. You'd have to go many
stops out of your way on the Red Line (all the way to Union
Station) if you're trying to get from Bethesda to
Georgetown, no?
