I had an Uber driver on the SF Peninsula who works a day job just a few hundred feet from where I live (which is, I suppose, why he got the dispatch). He drove us to SFO.

Turns out, he lives in BFE (Tracy) and works 7-4. His commute in to work is fast (okay, as fast as a, what, 70 mile drive can be) because it's off-hours. Then he drives for Uber for a few hours after work, getting PAID to sit in traffic.

Then he drives home when there's no traffic! And as a bonus, sometimes he gets paid to drive someone to the East Bay or somewhere that gets him a bit closer to home, 'on the clock' so to speak.
