Tech Shuttles: The Bay Area's Seventh Largest Transportation Provider
A new survey has found that every day more than 800 tech buses are traveling on the region's roadways, carrying around 34,000 passengers daily
"A new survey conducted jointly by the Bay Area Council and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission has found that every day more than 800 tech buses are traveling on the region's roadways, carrying around 34,000 passengers daily via 35 separate shuttle services," report Riley McDermid.
"With those numbers, the fleet of shuttles would comprise the Bay Area's seventh-largest transportation provider if they were all controlled by the same agency, the survey said — and it projects that the proliferation of private companies getting employees to work will continue to grow," adds McDermid.
