As far as going to 14th Street but taking 12th Street, I don't think the driver needs to advise before doing it--after all, it eliminates seven lights on 14th Street. Now, if the driver were to take the L'Enfant exit, that would be a different story.

The drivers and I have occasionally re-negotiated where I get dropped off, if it benefits both of us. Otherwise I'll stick to the initial location that they call out.
Before I get flamed for trying to re-negotiate the drop-off point, let me give you an example of the conversation: Driver (with one regular passenger) calls 14th & NY and I get in Somewhere along the way, usually on the way out of the parking lot the driver will ask how far up 14th I go. I'll say 'I work in Georgetown, so as far north and west as you go' On a bad day (or actually a normal day) the driver will say something like OK, 14th & NY it is... On a good day, the driver will say something like - great, we go to 20th & penn, is that OK... Anyway, I don't think that there is any problem discussing the drop-off point and changing if it benefits both of you. I do think that any deviation from the HOV corridor should be avoided completely. "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society" Theodore Roosevelt |
