I start my first real job ever this coming Monday out in DC (near Navy Yard). The bus is $9 a day or I can slug. I've heard nothing but good things about slug. But I fear, that I'll get to the commuter lot and of course no one is going where I need to go or something is going to happen and I'll be SOL. Anyone have any personal experince doing this. I'll be slugging from Woodbridge to DC/Navy Yard and need to get to work 8.30ish. I also have concern on how to slug home, I feel that's more complicated then slugging in. I'm going to go ahead and buy a smart trip card just in case I get screwed and need to metro back.

So any advice, comments, stories?
Goodlooking!

 

I drive to andrews afb from dale city 5 days a week in the z

 

...the fuck is slug

 

it sucks..especially since your from the woodbridge area..i hated working in DC...only way you wouldnt hit traffic is if you were on 66 by 6:30 am..before HOV opens...

 

lol. Its when you meet up with people and carpool with strangers. They need you to get in the HOV and you get a free ride.

Thats crazy, do you leave all early?

 

i have to be there at 630 now.. so i leave by 530... but on normal days i leave at 430 to be there by 515

 

is your job good?


you could get a parking space in a garage and just drive


commuting for me is a little different than you though

i'm Arlington => Georgetown so I just drive

 

Yea the pay is sweet. But driving all the way there would be a PITA. I drove to springfield last year and that could take 30min and it always got worst right after springfield. My job has free parking. I just highly doubt I'll ever drive there. Except when its warm, then I'll just take my bike.

 

i assume you'd have to sit in rush hour traffic if you drove?


idk...I would just move closer to DC haha

 

When I worked at the Navy Yard, I drove in and didnt hit too much traffic. I would have to be in at 730am though. And they had a garage. I've heard about slug, but dont know anyone who has actually used it. Have you checked the website?
