Commuting from my place on Geary/Broderick to Chinatown on a bus takes around 30 to 40 minutes and costs $2.25 one way. Taking an Uber pool takes 15 min for $4.50. SF is riddled with Uber and Lift drivers for this very reason. I bet at any given moment, 80% of the cars downtown are rides for hire. The city should just subsidize with a few billion a ride as a service platform and stop wasting time and money on something that will always be sub par.
