   Has anyone notice the long wait for the DC line, at 610 Old lot. I am starting a carpool to the DIAC, Bolling AFB, I normally slug to Navy Yard Metro, but as I was there at 5:05 and did not get picked up until 5:50 also, another co-worker got in line at 5:25 and was not picked up until 6:25 the line at 5:30 was only about 6 people deep now it has turned to about 25 people deep and gets longer, am I the only one has notice?  The price of gas has really change the wait time.  Drives are slugs and no one is driving.

	It's me

	YoYo, yes, the cost of gas has tripled the number of slugs and reduced the number of drivers. Try tipping the next driver you catch a ride with, and he or she will probably call out for you the next trip.

	The lines have increased all around. The 17 line has doubled in the last two weeks. Guess we'll just grin and bear it and waat for prices to settle down again.

	YoYo, If you want shorter lines, choose to help out and drive once or twice a week and take a couple of slugs with you. That way you've shortened the line by 3 people. Keep on sluggin' (and drivin') [:)]
