Overview
- Waymo is offering a $3 credit to riders who use its autonomous vehicles to travel to or from specific transit stations in San Francisco and the Peninsula.
- The program started on October 17 and will run until November 15, with credits usable for future rides through December 31.
- Eligible stations include select BART, Muni, and Caltrain stations, such as Glen Park and 4th & King Street.
- Waymo's pilot program seeks to promote public transit use and is the first of its kind among U.S. autonomous vehicle operators.
- Though transit agencies like BART and Caltrain are aware of the program, they are not official partners, and there is no government funding involved.
