Are they letting tourists be Metro Conductors now?

Train conductor: "Yellow Line, Mt. Vernon Square. Next station, Lawnt Plaza...I mean, L'Enfant Plaza..."

Same platform, different train, one minute later:

Train conductor: Yellow Line, Mt. Vernon Square...sorry, I mean the Blue Line to Largo Town Center. Next station, L'Enfant Plaza..."

(Eavesdropper's response: Uh, dude, that's quite a few more stops down if you're on the Blue Line.)
