Slugging... I Heard This on NPR

Interesting... There ought to be more of this everywhere. I KNOW Los Angeles would benefit from something like this--if it is not there already.

Slugging and Slug Lines Information For Washington DC

Slugging is a term used to describe a unique form of commuting found in the Washington, DC area. It has thousands of vehicles at its disposal, moves thousands of commuters daily, and the best part, it’s FREE! Not only is it free, but it gets people to and from work faster than the typical bus, metro, or train. It's unique because it is not a government sponsored commuter program, but one created out of ingenuity from local citizens to solve commuter problems.
