Can someone help me put this into context? $30/month is way cheaper than $104/month. How would you compare the base metrics? Time to start traveling, average walk amount per trip, total trip duration, coverage parity, etc. I suspect you can get into a waymo quicker and with less walking than a subway, unless you live very close. I imagine total trip time is pretty variable. Coverage parity is hard to guess about - in theory a waymo can go anywhere but I suspect public transport has longer "tendrils." | ||||||||||||||

For just the two daily BART trips that I do within SF, it would be $1200+/mo for Waymo/Uber/Lyft. So from that perspective perhaps the extra $30/mo for the small convenience of getting priority and being able to cancel a few rides could be seen as “cheap” by comparison. If I include the walks of 30+ minutes and bus rides, it’s probably pushing $2k/mo in rideshare costs. | ||||||||||||||

It's $30/month for these extras. You're still paying per trip, just with a de facto 10% off. | ||||||||||||||
