NurseChapel, you say the bus costs you $20 "when you take it," which sounds like you aren't often on the bus (if I'm wrong, I apologize, and ignore the rest of this paragraph). Well, the $10 that you say is less would be an every day expense, so I'm thinking the daily $10 would end up being a LOT more than the occasional $20.
I should have to "pony up" because I don't generally drive? I confess that I do not understand that argument. Is it only people who NEVER drive who should have to pay, or does that include people like me who will drive a couple of times a year? Choosing numbers is more like setting a fee, and less like a "tip." |

NO PAYING FOR SLUGGING!! I appreciate the drivers, but it is their choice for whatever reason, decent parking, convenience of driving yourself....I've got enough bills to pay..as we all do,

I certainly think that there are some who will start asking for tips if gas goes to 4.00 per gallon, due to the hurricane. The oil companies are making record profits, and this is a good opportunity for them to make even more. Once the ball starts rolling, expect the discussions about HOT and HYBRIDS to be downright calm compared to the tipping issue.

Here's a tip for you. No one told you that you have to drive. So if it's costing too much, get at the back of the slug line. Just be ready to stand in line for an hour or so.

Yea, if you can't afford to drive without tips, stop doing it.
Unless the HOT thing totally screws up the HOV, there will be plenty of others willing to pick up slugs to beat the traffic. If you decide to do it though, I suggest you form a separate line somewhere, because you will foul up the regular lines when riders see your jar and bail out on you. Kindest Regards, mroyal |

I agree with you Sludge. $ = carpool or vanpool
122582, you are too much -- why don't you try carpoolconnect.com or carpoolworld.com? I bet your truck is a gas guzzler too, huh? Why don't you try slugging a couple days a week? Oh, no bottom feeding for you? awww. Go ahead and ride in those regular lanes since they are sooo much better now...I double dogg dare you! By the way, your new nickname is cranky pants! ROFLMAO [:X] don't go hatin'...there's always slugs a waitin'!!! quote: |

Wait what if I drive twice a week. Can I have a get out of tipping free car because i drive too?
Also if they are tipping does that mean they get door to door service? Also some of us do get our companies to pay for the bus but we perfer to slug. Maybe we should just start riding the bus for free then and deal with the paper work. |

It seems that someone needs to do a RLD type of campaign to get the drivers organized to all request tips. Then the system would be fair.
