Same corridor
- BART provides frequent train service between San Francisco and the East Bay through the Transbay Tube. BART permits bicycles on board except on designated trains during weekday peak hours.
- Alameda/Oakland Ferry
- Alameda Harbor Bay Ferry
Casual carpooling
Unlike regular carpools, casual carpools are done without prior arrangements. Commuters looking for rides go to one of many pick up spots waiting for drivers picking them up. There are many pick up spots in the East Bay. There's also a designated pick up spot at the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco.
Drivers pick up riders so they can gain access to carpool lanes and pay a lower bridge toll from the East Bay(used to be free). There's no consensus as to whether riders should pay the drivers to cover the bridge toll. Some drivers accept money and others do not.
