This slugging thing was a legitimate thing in Northern California when I lived there decades ago. Folks would stand near highway on-ramps in places like Orinda and get picked up to count as car pools over the Bay Bridge. Those were the days.

Edit: it was called “casual carpooling” and nay still be a thing. https://www.ridenow.org/carpool/

Damn.. never thought I’d see my home town on Reddit. I hated growing up there with all the materialistic people that live there. Anyway.. I can’t help but wonder where in orinda they could possibly stand. At least when I lived there no place near the highway would possibly be safe to stand.
