Potential New Slug-- question

I don't know about your route specifically, but I know for me, slugging has been more reliable than most other transportation I've taken into or out of the city.

I'm also a 23 year old female traveling alone and have never had any problems or felt unsafe. :)

I'm pretty sure Rosslyn Metro station is fairly close to the slug drop off point, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Which AM line are you considering? Bob's doesn't serve Roslyn, nor the Pentagon. You can catch rides to Foggy Bottom though.

Rolling Valley does serve Roslyn, but I'm not sure how many drivers go there after 7am.

Good luck.

I was going to go to the sydenstricker lot, I think that is the one by Gambrill? As for the return route the pentagon is a good idea. Thanks! BTW, do people bring signs or just shout out their destination?

On the few times I've slugged from Sydenstricker (and all have been between 6 & 6:30 AM) Oosik is 100% correct that most drivers assume slugs are going to the Pentagon. But there were a few drivers who call out for slugs wanting to go to Rosslyn, to Crystal City, or to the Navy Yard. (And no drivers called out for slugs for any downtown DC locations.)

student00 needs to know that all the S'stricker lot parking spaces fill up by about 7 to 7:30. She should also know that the Rolling Valley commuter lot is not full by then, and never seems to be 100% full despite the very active slug line for most all locations there. Rolling Valley has a single line of slugs near the bus shelter where the driver tells the first slug in line his/her destination, and the first slug or two heading for that destination hop in the car (even though those slugs may not be at the head of the line). It seems to work very well there.
