Its actually kind of amazing... since its institutionalized hitch hiking...
It started because Folks at the Pentagon needed to get to work back in the days when there was no parking, and before they outsourced a lot of the building... since at the time it was literally the largest office building in the world and the american dream means you have to own a car, people started slugging. Plus it took the metro a LONG time to come to the suburbs...
Still not very close to a lot of places, and since busses take so long... and since most people are heading one way... slugging works well.
Plus its free.

XM Radio doesn't really appeal to me as I can listen to just about anything I'd want on Winamp (perhaps thousands of audio streams, all free).

If I go somewhere and I want music, I bring my mp3 player.  My music collection is large enough to be able to keep me entertained.
