No one would believe this sight unseen: People here have created their own transit system using their private cars. On 13 other corners, in Arlington and the District of Columbia, more strangers — Oliphant estimates about 10,000 of them every day — are doing the same thing: “slugging.”

 

Very interesting!

Isn't this just carpooling?

Yes and no. It's carpooling, but it's organized carpooling that can be used at convenience.
