Welcome Nazik.

Check the front page under Afternoon slug-lines for more info on 19th & F.

In response to your questions:

The line forms south of F street on the right hand side of 19th - usually around the 2nd parking meter. At 5PM the line usualy moves pretty well - the wait for Bob's is usually 5-10 minutes. There are usually more riders than drivers, but until a few weeks ago I hadn't heard of anyone being stranded before.

Good luck.

I am new to the afternoon slug-lines. Is there one on 19th and F? If so how rapidly does the lines move? Are there more riders than drivers at 5pm? Also where are the lines forming at?

Updated 9/6/06 - The fence is gone and the GW students are moved in. I suggest moving the line back to its original location.

The 19th and F line is for people going to Springfield and Burke. There's a newer line at 19th and I for people going farther south. Check the PM Slug Lines section on the front page for more info.

Regarding your question about passing over people based on how they look - maybe you should try another form of commuting. Otherwise, you'll drive yourself crazy worrying about smells and the other occasional annoyances we all encounter.

I'm new to this so can someone please tell me where the people standing in this line are intending to go? Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania? I just moved to Fredericksburg and I'm trying out the different forms of transportation. I've got a monthly work-paid parking space and may drive instead of VRE. However, I'll admit....I'm not looking to pick up someone who's going to get in the back seat to eat a chocolate bar and get it all over my cloth seats and not have a problem with it. Can slug drivers be selective as to who is next in line for a ride....can they take the number 2, 3 or 4th person in line if the 1st or 2nd looks like a slob? Is that rude?

Do people really pick up at 19 and I? I have tried twice at around 4:45 and have been shut out both times. Also I can't figure out exaclty where I should stand for best results./

Hi. For the duration of the construction at GW, the 19th & F slug line appears to have migrated from just after (south of) F street to just before (north of). The new location appears to be working well -- certainly better than the other side of F street next to GW's fence.

is there anyone willing to put up a sign on the corner of 19th and F (attach it to the metal fence) I would do it on Monday but I am out next week on vacation.

Oh, did I say that I am a driver and I'm not going to stop at the corner of 19th and F?

There do appear to be two lines, one at the corner of 19th and F and another by the 7-11 entrance near 19th and E. There were a lot of people stranded at 19th and F at 5:55. Looked almost empty by the 7-11. Duh. The safer line is where BW is talking about. Somebody needs to tell the other line to move. There is no future for this line at the corner.
