Stranded In SF? Corral Rides Shows Uber, Lyft, Sidecar And Muni In One App

    Does it use the Muni API for real-time next bus/train tracking? Or is it, like Google Maps, based off of the published (aka, worthless) schedule?

      It uses google. I use Rover instead; they do the routing themselves based on the real-time arrival data (and they include sidecar and instantcab, though not lyft. http://www.roversf.com/ http://www.roversf.com/

  At the risk of hater downvotes, that screenshot looks eerily similar to the situation I always find myself in while in SF. Lyft and Sidecar have nothing available or have ungodly wait times (6-15 minutes while standing in a busy part of the city), while an Uber can pick me up in under 2-3 minutes every time. Additionally, a lot of Lyft/Sidecar drivers will just pass on rides that are too far away and wait until someone closer makes a request. They can do this because the demand is significantly greater than supply, so it has little impact on them. This is very obvious by just watching the display while you're trying to flag down a ride (note: true even with 5* rating). This makes me wonder if they should even be included as they're incredibly unreliable. It'd be interesting to see Corral run some analytics on the data they're gathering to see which options have severe availability issues, and when/where.
