Waymo offers $3 credit to riders using public transit in San Francisco and the Peninsula

Waymo riders can now earn $3 credit on their account for use on future rides when they choose use transit stations in San Francisco and the Peninsula. Credits will be applied to riders’ Waymo accounts when they use Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hailing service “Waymo One” to or from eligible Bay Area transit stations. The pilot program will run from November 15 and credits will be available for use until December 31, 2024.

The pilot is reportedly the first of its kind in the U.S and launched after Waymo found that 36% of their San Francisco riders use Waymo One to connect to transit stations.

Only a handful of stations are valid for the deal, including but not limited to:

BART: Colma, Daly City
BART/Muni: Balboa Park, Glen Park
Muni: West Portal, Revere / Shafter (T Third Street line)
Caltrain: 4th & King Street, 22nd Street

The credits will automatically be added to a rider’s account if they go to or from one of those stations with no proof needed of transit use – however only one $3 credit is issued per day, regardless of the number of rides to and/or from these stations.

“Connecting people with sustainable transportation is at the heart of Waymo’s mission to build the world’s most trusted driver,” said Adam Lenz, Head of Sustainability and Environment at Waymo. “By offering electric rides on demand and improving access to public transit, Waymo One is making daily travel more sustainable and convenient. Our riders consistently tell us they value sustainability, and we’re proud to offer it as a core benefit to the communities we serve.”
