In one of Toyota's most mysterious offerings, the Crown, we brave traffic in our nation's capital to find out how the unusual ride-sharing arrangement really works.

I explained to Officer Bush that I was not doing anything nefarious but was simply stupid, lost, and looking for the slug-line pickup. He pointed me to a parking lot one half-roundabout over. He hadn't used slugs, he told me, but he knew people who had. "You can't speak to anyone," he said. "The riders just give the driver a token, and that's how they know where to go." This last bit proved a red herring, but the first part is true.

"They only care about getting where they need to go," she answered. She'd started slugging earlier this year, when a bus strike disrupted her regular commute. The man next to her was trying it for the first time on the advice of a friend. A hybrid Camry came to the curb, and they nodded to me and took off. By 4:30, the parking lot was sparse, but I felt confident we had enough info to try a slug ride the next morning. But first, I'd hear what Jasmine Smith had to say.
