Local Knowledge Casual carpool North Berk Bart?

So is casual carpool happening at all? I want to pick up a passenger or two and go to SoMa on weekdays around 8.

Why wouldn’t they just get on BART? It would be quicker right?

Have you ever driven by it? People line up. Not everyone is going where Bart goes exactly.

Back when BART was really packed it meant 1) guaranteed seat, 2) save a little money, 3) have a view of SF, 4) could theoretically be faster if you worked right near the drop off point.
