Overview

• Service resumed August 12 at Grand Avenue and Lake Park Avenue under I-580, operating weekdays from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. with drop-offs near Salesforce Tower in San Francisco.
• Launch day saw roughly half a dozen carpools make the crossing, reflecting modest initial turnout as the network rebuilds.
• Organizer Camille Bermudez led the relaunch after a survey found about 43% of respondents had never used the casual carpool, signaling strong interest from new riders.
• The informal system relies on suggested voluntary contributions of $1–$2 to drivers and community norms instead of formal fares.
• Traffic engineer Greg Riessen’s Rapid Carpool app is being tested to streamline rider-driver matching as organizers plan incremental site reopenings through August 2026.
