For those who don't live in DC, what is "slugging it"?

Or is this just a slang term I'm not aware of?

It's organized hitchhiking, usually up 395 from the Woodbridge area into the Pentagon or NW. 395 is HOV-3, which can take a 30 mile commute from 75 minutes to 35 minutes, so this is how people fill up their cars.

It's a crazy subculture.
