Two Lines for Horner Road

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   If you're accepting suggestions, I would propose that the Pentagon destination be a separate line, like it is at Potomac Mills.  I can't really say where the line should start because I've just started using Horner Rd.  I suppose there is more room at Potomac Mills to separate out the Pentagon line, but it is very efficient.  I like the idea of passing out flyers, but temporary signs posted high enough would be ideal.

	Hey Chris, Welcome to slugging! There has been a lot of interest in creating a new line at Horner but now it appears as though it will be in the Sep timeframe instead of the original 6 Aug date. For the time being, the original map is still accurate. You can find the map for Horner at: http://www.slug-lines.com/AM_Lines/Horner_rd.asp

	I am new in the area. I just now looked at the websites for slugging. I am picking up at Horner Road. Can someone please post a map of the area with the revised parking/bus stop configuration, so I can make sense of where this proposal is talking about. Thanks -Chris

	Thanks for the feedback. I believe you are correct in that we need to hand out flyers. Perhaps trying to get the two lines concept off the ground by 6 Aug was too aggressive and not everyone got the word. If the second line does not take effect soon, we may wait until the last week of Aug or the first week of Sept to try this again. This will allow time to circulate a flyer announcing the move and to sent out a notice via email (newsletter). Thanks again for the feedback and let me know if there are any other changes!

	Admin, I went to Horner this morning and there is still little progress. I suppose it always takes people a while to make a change. I'm willing to handout flyers, but I'm not sure if the time I arrive at Horner will help the downtowners. I'm ususally there around 6:30am when 90 percent of the line consists of Pentagoners.

	Dear Slugs, It's time to split the Horner Road line into TWO separate lines. The popularity of Horner is causing problems so, we need to split this line. Effective 6 Aug (Monday) let's join to: Create a new slugline at the new bus stop for all sluggers going downtown - 14th Street, 18th Street, Navy Yard, etc. The "old" bus stop will be used for Pentagon, Rosslyn and Crystal City traffic.
