Driving Directions 

Description: Forms on the east side of the Auditors Building of the Smithsonian. Like most lines, it is on the sidewalk co-located with the bus stop. However, recently the line has moved across the street to the northern side of Independence and 14th street.

Recently it was reported that Slugs line up at the fire hydrant but some wait near the railing on the auditors building (and then join the bus line if a bus get there before a slug driver).  For the most part, only sluggers are standing at the fire hydrant.

Destinations: 

• Potomac Mills 
• Tackett’s Mill

• Old Hechinger’s
• Stafford-630
• Stafford-610

Best Hours: 4:00 - 5:00 p.m.

Drivers: Drivers can only pick up heading south on 14th Street. If there aren’t any slugs here, it’s better to continue on to the Pentagon rather than backtrack to 14th and New York.
