It鈥檚 illegal for Uber & Lyft to pickup at SFO鈥檚 arrivals level, so they pickup at departures. This has made congestion so bad, there鈥檚 now a sign encouraging drop-offs to go to arrivals. So now departures go to arrivals & arrivals go to departures because tech fixes everything.

I've never gone to/from SFO by rideshare whenever possible. I BART. Even though it takes forever. You know how often it's not possible for me to take BART? A third of the goddamn time.

This is partly a function of the flight times, but I've only skipped transit once when traveling to/from a non-sf airport alone in the past year (Columbus OH because I was in a rush). I skip transit all the time here because it just doesn't exist.

But BART to SFO is *lovely* compared to getting to SFO from the south. There's Caltrain plus Quentin Kopp's double-transfer (untimed, of course), with 90 minute headways on weekends. The KX bus from Palo Alto used to be an alternative, but no more.

At this point, I think Uber Pool is a equally-priced (before tip, anyway), faster, and easier way than BART to get betwen Millbrae Caltrain station and SFO airport.

On the other hand, I heard they're restarting the bus service between Millbrae and SFO that they stopped when BART started.
