Morning and Afternoon Commute - Fredricksburg - DC

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

   Good morning everyone!
I am fairly new to slugging but I think this is so cool! I just moved to Fredericksburg from DC and still need to commute back and forth. I tried VRE, way too expensive for me... Could you tell me how to arrange this? I saw the pick up spot was route 3 off of Gordon (so close to my house!) and 14th and Independence the destination. Is there a specific time for pick up/drop off? How can I arrange this?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

	I don't know how active Gordon Rd is for slugging up to DC. You might want to check out the Mine Rd lot off of 610

	Thanks Keith! Could you tell me how it works? Are there specific times for pickup and drop off and how do I stay updated on changes? I really need to find out how this works, as this would be very beneficial. Please advise. Thanks Keith!

	Jay, Its a pretty simple system. Driver pulls up & calls his location. 1st in line (for that location) gets in the car. Line keeps moving forward till its your turn. You might want to drive a few times to understand how it works from a driver perspective. Also, know how to get home - know where your afternoon line is to get home. Its more of a time window for pickup - I get picked up from Mine Rd as early as 0545-0630 to go to the Pentagon. Early is better. Lots fill up quick

	Mr. Aikens, any luck on this? We're considering relocating to F'burg, and I used to think (actually, still do) that Rt 3 was just too far. How are the lines at the Rt 3 going to DC? What time do you get there? What's the typical drive time between there and the HOV entrance?
