   Waymo pays you $2.85 in Waymo credit to take the train

   (Waymo takes $2.85 off your next ride if you take the train)

   I live in East Bay, and I often take gratuitous Waymo trips all the way across the city to Embarcadero Station to ride BART back home. I do this because I like seeing the pretty skyscrapers and the bustling city and the pretty townhomes painted interesting colors. They may want to rethink their reward structure a bit to avoid paying out to people like me.

      A trick I learned from an east bay friend is that (when possible) the bus across the bridge is way nicer than the BART under the bay, especially around sunset.

         Yeah but then you're on a bus...

            It's a double decker.

               As a human who sometimes needs to use the restroom, I like my transit rides to take a predictable amount of time.

               Sunset on the Bay Bridge is prime rush hour traffic time, and the favorite pasttime of many Bay Area drivers is to get in a traffic accident after work.

               As far as I can tell, these double decker buses are not equipped with a restroom for their riders. Even though I'm sure the view is amazing, the red line is less often obstructed by traffic.

                        Why? Can you explain?
