I just started slugging out of the Mine Rd lot after using the old lot for a couple of months. I get there around 6 AM. The first time I waited about five minutes. The second time I waited less than a minute to catch a ride to the Pentagon. For people living east of I-95 along Hwy 1 near Aquia, this lot is very convenient. It is much easier to get out of there in the afternoon and it is closer to home than the old lot. I caught a ride from the Pentagon the first time in less than a minute of waiting! I recommend riders and passengers living east or closer to the Mine Road lot go there rather than the old lot. I am sold! [:)]

I've been able to get a ride at the Mine Road lot usually by 0630. Any earlier and you'll have to wait a bit. However, it does appear more and more people are starting to use it earlier given the previously mentioned ease of use for southbound drivers.

Usually about 7 AM. That is when the lot becomes full or passengers come at a trickled pace.

It's been working pretty well. It seems that more and more people are showing up at the Mine Road lot. Probably because they are finding that it's easier to get out of there in the evenings. It works especially well for those that are continuing south since you can just make the right hand turn onto Garrisonville from Salisbury, instead of waiting 3 traffic light evolutions before you can make a left.

The drive from 610 to the Pentagon (which of course is not DC, but it is the route with which I am familiar) takes about 35 minutes. But, be aware that you can never be sure how long it will take to get slugs. Some mornings you can pull right up and get riders. Other mornings you may have to wait 15-20 minutes (rarely, though). So just be sure to pad in enough time in case you have to wait a few minutes for riders.

After 7:00 am, you will want to pick up slugs at the Mine Road lot. The other lot is full by then.

I am new to the Stafford area, but have been in the DC metro area for a while. I am planning on becoming a new driver on the slug line as my job requires me to have my car with me. Could someone tell me approximately how long it takes to get to DC from 610? I work in DC on 14th St and begin working around 8 or 8:30. Thanks so much!
