Is it in front of the IMF/World Bank building on 19th Street? Every time I've driven by there lately, I can't tell who's slugging or who's waiting for the bus. Perhaps folks aren't out there because it's too cold?[:I]

Right now the Bob's/Rolling Valley line is at the corner of 19th and F by the IMF/World Bank. The area in which to stand seems to shrink on a daily basis.

I've been out there at 4(ish)for the past 2 days and there wasn't much of a line. Good thing too (for me that is) as the wait was only 5 minutes or so.

It is confusing as to who's waiting. Not just for drivers, but for slugs too. Today, I was at the front of the line when a car pulled up. He needed 2 riders so I called out to the 2 people who were standing ca 10 feet away. One was a bus rider, one a slug.

Hopefully this construction won't last forever and then slugs can go back to the "regular" location on the south side of F Street.

Thanks for posting this. My office is moving to 19th & Penn at the end of March. I needed to know where to catch the ride to Bob's.
