San Francisco, for its merits, wants to keep its solo driver population down, and it tackles that issue found in many suburbs by running frequent shuttle services during peak periods to employment areas, medical centers, and places with high transit ridership to augment services provided by San Francisco Muni.
This collection also includes shuttles found in the North Bay, especially in Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano Counties.
