Unfortunately Waymo still wont operate on freeways or at SFO. But I long for the day when I can take a Waymo between SF and Berkley or to SFO, those are my most frequent reasons to call a Lyft.

Well they just got the permit to expand, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long. That said, I think the plan was first to expand down the peninsula.

Anytime I go to east bay I go for BART. I’m not trying to sit in bay bridge traffic. BART gets a bad rap, like every other public transit in the US, but I’ve been using it pretty frequently recently (stopped around beginning of lockdowns) and it’s a great experience.

I also use BART most of the time, but I often end up heading back to SF pretty late in the night so that’s not always an option.

Keep using Waymo and stream with a stranger on one of the Omegle clones when you ride. Problem solved.
