I ride almost every morning from oakland down to Hayward Bart to catch the AC transit bus over the San Mateo bridge to my work in Foster city. I really don't mind all the riding, it's a pretty good way to start the morning and I love not having to deal with traffic.
But tough times have hit and I can't afford the $116 ticket anymore. In fact, AC Transit is raising the price to $132 in July. It's bad enough that I have to pay $116 a month just to cross a stupid bridge (I'd ride over that sucker if they'd let me...) But now it's probably going to be just as much to drive my car over the bridge every day!
What's a biker to do?! Does anyone know of any bike shuttles that pick people up and ferry them across? Anyone want to start a carpool with bike racks? We could take advantage of the carpool lane (is THAT still free??)
