   Hi All,

	

	I would like to start slugging but I have a couple of questions.  I am coming from the Kingstowne area so, it appears that the Bob's line would be the place to go in the morning.  However, I'm confused as to where the second line (18th & Mem. Bridge) ends.  I need to get to the 18th & pennsylvannia area.  Would this be the line to take?

	

	Another question, how does the drop off usually work once everyone is in the city?  Does the driver give his/her destination and you can decide where to get out or is there a general vicinity where they usually stop?

	

	Thanks,

	Kris

	Bob's is your best bet. There are 2 lines - 1 for the 14th Street bridge, the other for Memorial bridge. The main destinations in the Memorial bridge line are 18th street and 23rd street (Foggy Bottom). Drivers go as close as 18th and F or as far up as 18th and M. When they call out their destination, just ask if they'll drop you at your preferred spot. If they agree, great. If not, it's your option to pass. btw - the return line for Bobs is at 19th and F. Good luck.
