It's unique because people commuting into the city stop to pickup other passengers even though they are total strangers!
However, slugging is a very organized system with its own set of rules, proper etiquette, and specific pickup and drop-off locations. It has thousands of vehicles at its disposal, moves thousands of commuters daily, and the best part, it's FREE!" Slugging
