From the past few years, everyone who works in San Francisco is aware of the Chariot’s trademark. Two years ago, it was launched as a private shuttle that serves downtown commuters. Now it is running on an average of 4,000 trips per day across S.F. and Bay Area.
Some routes are designed apart to overcome the crowding demand. The shuttles are 15 seated and use white-and- yellow loading zones to onboard passengers. They can succeed that goal while minimizing extra congestion on S.F. streets.
The service is fast, reliable, and not too costly in comparison with others.They charge $2.50 from pre-tax commuters and $3.80 to $5 from others per trip.
Ali Vahabzadeh the CEO of Chariot said that Chariot has in a meaningful manner and expanded the livable areas in the Bay Area.
Chariot’s Director announced that they are going to expand their services for those commuters who don’t work in SOMA or who live outside the city. We'll be providing close to curbside drop-off without affecting wait times. We are going to spread our services all over the S.F. after analyzing the details of commuters through their signup details.
This is a great solution for those commuters who work outside the city. Lyft and Uber have also attempted a partnership with local transit agencies.
Vahabzadeh says that commuters shouldn't have to double their commute costs when they're already paying for public transit to get to and from work. According to him Uber and Lyft is not good for maximum commuters because this service is quite expensive.
He says that Uber and Lyft say they're working on this, but they're not providing any special discounts or privileges to people who have already paid nine dollars on BART or 11 dollars on the ferry to get to and from work.
He also says that if you can solve that last-mile commuting solution, it makes the whole Bay Area that much more liveable. We want to be the part of the solution, not the problem.
