BART break downs are not uncommon so when I heard it on the news this morning, I glanced at the video of ticked off passengers and didn't think to much of it. What caught my interest was an interview with a stranded passenger who mentioned Uber.
Apparently Uber caught on quickly that BART stopped traffic into San Francisco and went into "surge pricing" mode. The UBer cars started showing up in mass. The price quoted to get a ride to work: $90.
I had this weird vision of Uber sharks circling the sinking train.
I am getting old. I keep forgetting the there is a new smart phone solution to everything. I am just used to waiting for the bus bridge. $90 to cross the bay bridge seems steep but I guess if you have to be at work, you pay whatever.
