There are a couple other newer Bay Area commuting options that have popped up on Product Hunt recently:
- Tomo - Uber for long commutes. Door-to-door for $7.50
- Chariot - Subscription Commuter Bus Service in SF
- Leap Transit - New (limited) shuttle service for San Francisco commuters
- Sidecar Shared Rides - Sidecar offers "Shared Rides"
Interesting trend.

@rrhoover As someone who lives in the south bay, but prefers SF nightlife, all of this excites me.
There's a company in Cambridge called Bridj (http://www.bridj.com/) doing something similar. I like to think of it as privatized mass transit. They call it pop-up mass transit.
I would have killed for this when I lived in MV. Caltrain ends at midnight, which really ruins your Friday or Saturday night.
I feel like their prices are too low (same cost as Caltrain) -- but if they can pull this off, it's an amazing service.
