I'm surprised how little is written about employer-operated mass transit. The shuttles that Google, Apple etc run in the SFBA are great.

- zootam 7y agodoes this actually count as mass transit? i am not surprised its hardly mentioned, as it is only useful to a tiny percentage of the population of 1 region. as a case study, it boils down to being a nice benefit of working at one of a select few large, highly successful companies. can this service be replicated effectively anywhere else? by anyone else? even by the same company in a different region? my initial answer to all of the above questions is no.
- gok 7y agoYes, for example, Amazon and Microsoft have replicated the service in Seattle. Austin employers like Cirrus Logic run shuttles. I only bring it up because the original article is explicitly about how an employer can encourage employees to stop driving to work.
