P.M. slug lines from 14th. and Constitution

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Will begin working at the Ronald Reagan Building at the end of June 2005.  I know I can slug in to this location in the A.M. (i.e., 14th. and Constitution).  Are there any slug lines down to the Rt. 610 (north or south lots) or Rt. 630 lots from 14th and Constitution or do I need to metro to the Pentagon and slug from there?  If there are no slug lines from 14th. and Constitution to Stafford and points south, is anyone else interested in starting one?

	There is a Stafford 610 line at 14th and G, I work across the street from the Reagan Bldg, so we have the same commute. It is easier getting a ride to/from the new lot on Mine Road. But, it really depends on the time of day you work, I work 7:30 to 4, so I use the new lot in, and either 14th and G to get home, or the Pentagon, I find the Pentagon lines move alot faster, and you dont feel as if getting home is a lost cause, it seems to be taking longer and longer these days from the 14th street line. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!! :'}

	I have been wondering about this issue for quite some time. I currently slug from 610 into DC rather than the pentagon. In the afternoons, depending on Metro connections, it can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes to get from my place of work (on the Red line) to the pentagon. I could get to 14th and G in about ten minutes, but I have always wondered how long I would have to wait to get a ride. I would be getting there shortly after 4:00 as well. I have also worried about getting there and then having to walk to another metro if no one picks me up there. Or being the only one there, having a driver pick me up and we head to the pentagon to get a third. The morning slug system works so well, and the DC line keeps getting longer and longer each morning at 610. It seems there are alot of people slugging into DC. Does everyone go to the Pentagon in the afternoon? Can drivers please post whether they use 14 and G to pick up in the afternoon, or any other preference for locations in DC where they would like to pick up passengers and the time of day they would like to do so. It would seem like the Pentagon is a place to avoid in the afternoon and yet there doesn't seem to be anywhere else other than the pentagon for riders to go to get back to 610. Any comments on this post would be appreciated...

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!! :'} Thanks. I used to vanpool to the RRB until I went to Okinawa for 3 years. The vanpool was a great way to go. I'll probably go to the Pentagon since my hubby goes out of town alot so I know I can get home. I will try for a van pool too. Thanks again for the updated info. Singing_mom

	No doubt. Unfortunately, it does seem as though the Pentagon is a safer bet than the 14th and G line. Callmemrslug, you should try this thread in the regular topics page, more people may see it! :'}

	Has anyone tried to get a ride through the NuRide system? It seems to be similar to slugging. Just curious. Singing_mom
