Chump,
I just did a complete search on this thread and at no point did you or anyone else say "Bob's" or give any indication from which lot you were slugging. Just as you cannot suddenly shift the delivery point for a slug to suit your own selfishness, you cannot suddenly shift the terms of an argument by adding a new qualifer: only for people at the Bob's lot. You started this topic -- if you don't like the answers and can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. |

Chmp, why is this a big deal NOT to let a slug out before your destination? Slugging is slugging no matter where you slug and the system should be the same everywhere. Are the drivers from Springfield area too important or that much in a hurry to take the time to stop on the way up the street? Really, think about what you're saying. You've done a good thing in picking slugs up so what's the problem in an early drop-off? It makes you sound rediculous.

the rule is different at Bob's and since you don't slug from there this does not really concern you, though you are getting plenty worked up about it. I have driven on the 18th line a lot and that is the rule according to the vast majority of people I know and since WE are the ones slugging from Bob's and not you, this really does not concern you! So you can stop freaking out and calling people idiots when you don't even slug out of the line where the issue is coming from.

For the last time: WRONG WRONG WRONG!
You, Ronin718, obviously never have used the 18th Street line in the morning. I have, for years. Never once have I or anyone I've spoken to, been held hostage past the point they want to get out at. The "rule" you quote is not the "rule" for the 18th/20th Street morning lines at Horner and Potomac Mills. Oh, why bother. You're an idiot if you can't see that the system only works if drivers let people off at any safe point up to the driver's stated destination. It's a given on the Line in the morning. |

Rule #10 certainly applies. CHMP clearly stated "20th & K". Assumption was made by the slug. If the slug was intent on only "20th & G", she should've spoken up at the lot, not after crossing the river. And we're only talking four blocks.
Besides, you have to consider the traffic issue. If the lights green and the cars are moving, it's a pain in the butt to pull over and then get back in the flow. Hopping at the most convenient red light is a valid alternative. That's my $.02...... |

What's going to happen when (and IF!) they expand Horner Road lot into the old bus parking lot across Telegraph as has been moved forward by Corey Stewart on the PWC Council?
One sure as heck can't walk to it from the main lot, not on that narrow hilly road, not in the dark or rain or after a snowfall. Evening drivers usually won't go past the central bus stop in Horner, much less to the back lot, so I doubt they are going to make the trip all the way to the proposed new extension. And will Omniride drop off there? Maybe this needs to be a new thread. |

OR...
I know I've never proposed this before (hehe) but hey... why not post the rules of this web-site? Might be a way to settle this for those that have trouble communicating. As much as we'd all like communication and common courtesy to apply, let's face it, if did always apply, there would be a grand total of three posts on this forum. Hey... I'm just throwing it out there... Rule # 10 No "curbside" service. There are certain understood destinations. Horner Road means the parking area at Horner Road, not the gas station just down Prince William Parkway or around the block to were you live. If you have a special request, be sure to ask the driver before accepting the ride. Normally, as long as the stop is on the way, drivers will not object. |

I dont know about you all, but I damn well ask the stranger that is kind enough to give me a ride in exchange for HOV usage where they are willing to drop off, at the beginning of the ride.
It is the job of both the driver and the slug to communicate drop off points at the beginning of the drive. Both parties are at fault when no communication is made and an occurance of misunderstanding comes into the equation. Whats the need for all the arguing about this topic? Communicate people, there would be less issues and pissed off people in the long run, sheesh!!! GMHP was hea! |

Play it safe and specify drop-off point at the pick-up, every time. Any time you 'assume' something you risk making an 'ass' out of 'u' and 'me.'
