Rolling Valley Slug Line - Call to Action!!!

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

   This is a call to action for all the drivers who live close to RV slig line... PLEASE use this slug line more effectively... Don't just drive to Bob's and wait there in line to get slugs... There are plenty of us waiting in line in the RV lot.

	Also, for those drivers that pick up at RV, PLEASE use the same destination for PM rides from 19&F... The waiting for RV slugs has been over 20 minutes, because 90% of drivers that stop by to pick up slugs call for Bob's destination.

	Again, as a user of both lots (Backlick Rd lot and Rolling Valley lot), I found RV to be an excellent venue to park and ride!!!

	I thought RV was Pentagon only, or am I confused?

	RV is multiple destinations -L'Enfant, 14th street, 18th street, Pentagon, Crystal City, etc...

	DC2RV is correct... Rolling Valley is MULTI-destination... Can any of the moderators put this under a STICKY?, or is Bob the only one who takes care of? I want this to be upfront so that those who may not know are aware of this fact... Thanks to those who are reading this!!!

	Colossus911 - why did you think Rolling Valley was Pentagon only? And how many others - particularly Bob's drivers and slugs - think the same?

	I think Rolling Valley rules the world, and more people should use it. If people are using Bob's because they don't know about RV, then they are missing out and they should try avoiding the crowds and traffic over at Bob's.

	Agree with some of the previous posts. From my 20 years of slugging and carpooling from Burke it appears that the Rolling Valley slug line serves almost all of the major NoVa and DC morning destinations. And there always seems to be plenty of parking. [:)] The lot is located on Old Keene Mill Rd 4 to 5 miles west of the "Bob's" slug line location.

	Hi. I find it surprising there are riders at RV waiting for rides to DC. I would be surprised to learn that drivers were coming to Circuit City to pick up riders. I don't doubt that some RV drivers pick up Bob's riders in the evening. Perhaps they have errands to run and the RV lot is out of their way? JMO

	Jody - please clarify what you find surprising regarding your first 2 sentences. Some drivers will pick up at Bob's if there's a wait at RV - that's understandable. Regarding the rest of your post, yes, people do run errands and can't return to RV (myself on occasion). But there are people who pick up solely for Bob's and live in Burke. I thanked one of them for "going out of the way" and she responded that she just lives around the corner from RV anyway.
