The run is I-5 south, straight through the JBLM corridor — the stretch that turns an easy hour into 75–85 minutes in weekday peaks, and the reason session-season travelers book a locked fare instead of gambling on a meter. Dispatch pads your pickup for the window; the Capitol is on schedule either way.
