I have been riding with Minyvan since the beginning of October! Very glad to have found out about it! I live in Los Altos and work in downtown San Francisco. I usually take the ~7am northbound route and get to work a little before 9am. I get picked up from my house and get dropped off right by my work! I don't think it can get much better than this for the price. Each ride is $10 one way, but if you purchase in bulk you can get a discount.
Admittedly, my commute is a bit longer through Minyvan compared to using public transportation because of traffic and picking other passengers up, but it is worth it for the convenience and comfort! The Minyvans are all wi-fi equipped and each seat has a tablet in front of it with Netflix installed!
I take the ~5:30pm southbound Minyvan after work and get dropped off at home around 7pm. The drivers are always very timely. Once in a blue moon, the Minyvan is delayed (i.e. when it rains everyone in the Bay Area forgets how to drive) but they always let me know in advance the new pick-up time so I'll just do a little extra work in the office before I head downstairs. They have also added a feature in the Duet app that I can track the live location of the Minyvan.
All in all, this is a great find and I encourage any SF to Peninsula (or vice versa) commuters to check it out! I don't see a reason to commute to work any other way! read more
