	Sorry. It is only a weekday thing for getting to and from work.

	Slugging takes place during the weekdays going north from the early morning hours until 9am (HOV is open to all @ 9), and then again going south in the evenings from 3:30pm-6pm (HOV going south is open to all until 3:30 and then is open to all again after 6). On weekends, HOV is open to all, I just don't know when it is open going north and then when its open going south.
