I bet those times are when trains leave the terminals. Most terminal stations are 30-40 min from downtown (Ashburn is a whopping hour from Metro Center) so I expect for many riders in the core, the frequencies will benefit until 6:30 or later. Still not ideal but that's past the worst of rush hour.
