In my case, since nobody else has replied with public transit: SF has a really great bus system that, if you're traveling along any of the frequent lines with bus lanes, is usually the same speed as an uber once you factor in the wait. It's just $2.50 for 3 hours of free transfers, and 24/7 service.

Try hailing a cab or finding a spot on the bus when you’re in the mission trying to make it to the marina or pac heights at 1:30am. I’ve seen buses filled with people just skip stops because they’re too full. Ridesharing has helped immensely with that excess demand even with surge pricing. Also, not all buses run 24/7
- xvedejas 7y agoI live on the other side of the mission, so YMMV. Though I would suggest that surge pricing is one of ridesharing's strengths, and public transit could learn from it.
- shartshooter 7y agoFor public transportation I don’t love surge pricing. It’s such a great resource for the poor and taking that away because it’s St Patty’s day doesn’t sit well with me
