Okay, this is really starting to bug me at the 234 lot. Some days there are signs and some days they are gone. Either we have some police activity removing them or disgruntled sluggers. Honestly i agree with those who think the lines need to be reverted to the old style. The new "organiztion" is confusing to both sluggers and drivers alike. Unless we can get permanent signs put up to get rid of the uncertainty, I doubt the lines will ever truly take root.
Considering that I also believe seperating all the locations into 4 lines is probably a little too over-cpmplicating it. At most we only need 2 lines, the DC line and the Pentagon et all line. There isn't enough demand to have seperate lines for the other locations. My 2 cents. That is all. |

quote: Here’s what was wrong • One or two alternate destination drivers parked at the front of the line awaiting slugs and a long line of slugs not going their way. This gums up the process. • A Long line of 14th street slugs and a long line of Pentagon drivers. This also gums up the process as the one or two 14th street drivers at the back of the line can’t get to the slugs at the front. |

quote: That’s great that you have flexibility and options but many of us don’t. The problem with lumping 14th St and other DC destinations in with the Pentagon is that you get a huge block of 14th St slugs at he front of the line (who don’t have the flexible options you do) and a long line of Pentagon drivers. This gums up the process. The Pentagon definitely needs its own line. The more lines you have for more specific destinations the more drivers you will get for those currently lesser served destinations e.g. Chrystal City and Roslyn. Divers don’t like to wait and they don’t like slugger roulette they want to pick up a slug and go. Though you may provide them that option individually most other slugs can’t I suggest you pick the shortest line of slugs every morning or the longest line of drivers, which ever works best. You still have options even with separate lines. |

quote: To increase demand and encourage more drivers you have to separate the lines. Drivers do not like to wait for callers to have to relay all the way down the line. They want to get in get the first slug and go. Separate the destination lines and you will get more drivers and more slugs to currently lesser served destinations. |

quote: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you some more! That so needed to happen. I think it will likely take a couple more times of posting the line locations for it to really stick. I noticed today people had already forgotten the order for Chrystal City and Roslyn. 14th St mostly had things figured out but there were a coulple that need help finding the heard. If you need help posting markers again please leave a reply to this post. |

I like the seperated lines. Yeah, people are going to be little confused at the beginning that's why you simply open your mouth and ask somebody. The signs helped. I don't know what happened to them, but since some people are having a hard time trying to grasp what line to go to, signs can help direct them.
Change is good people. My 2 cents Slugs Unite! |

Lot 234
I think the Roslyn sign came down in the storm the other day and needs to be replaced. Thanks ~mhutch |
