Back to hubs... like several others have said, if I'm near a hub - any hub - and I need to go somewhere, I'll generally find out if that hub goes anywhere near my destination, and use it. I don't perceive the hubs as being in competition - it's like having multiple railway stations dotted along the same train line. Use whichever one you're closest to that has a line going in your direction.
And Kelmo, you should try the braille version of that post. I can never unfeel that!!!
