Commuter benefits at Google

My wife started a new job with Google in MTV and we both live in San Francisco (close to Bernal heights). Does Google allow for pre tax money to be allocated to Uber for rides to bus stop or provide Caltrain Go pass. Is there also a google shuttle stop near mtv Caltrain that takes her close to the Google quad?

Uber can't be commuter benefit. I think they are working towards uber pool. It might get there. Yet, the commuter benefits are limited, so if you use it on uber you will burn through it pretty quickly.

Any other suggestions for what might work for her?

Not correct. You can use commuter benefits for Uber and Lyft but the cars must be pools able to fit 6 passengers. (so your ride wait times might be longer) https://www.uber.com/info/uber-commuter-benefits/ https://blog.lyft.com/posts/lyft-commuter-benefits

Google doesn’t provide any transportation passes for bay area. Pre tax money can be used for Caltrain pass. Gbus has good connectivity throughout bay area.

I didn’t know that but I still meant that they don’t provide any uber pool credits or caltrain pass. You need to use GBus and can use pre tax money for your own passes + pools (as per the link).
