Not on New Year’s Eve or any other major drinking holiday. 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

- 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
