Years ago, after a day of bad weather, on USAir, the flight PHL-DCA was delayed enough to hit the DCA curfew. They offered buses (but only spaces for 50% of the passengers). That was a trip to remember, the driver of the bus I was on did not know the way, run out of fuel in the middle, used the wrong fuel type at the gas station which led the bus do die somewhere on 395 (almost there for those who don't know DC geography). And then did not want to let us off the bus. A mini mutiny ensued and finally, I ended up stopping a taxi on 395 (not the one-lane country road mind you) and heading home. That was one hell of a night.
