If you are commuting to SF in the morning from the east bay, there's the community driven east bay casual carpool. There used to be a pickup point at most of the east bay bart stations and the common drop off is at the corner of Fremont and Howard in soma. When I used to commute in, there were a few people in line and it only took a minute or two for the next car to pull up. It's a little weird at first to jump in a car with two random strangers but I never felt unsafe. You get through bay bridge toll plaza in seconds as you are in the carpool lane.

Nobody uses this any more. It is effectively not possible to cross the bay with the casual carpool. For the same reason nobody rides BART: those trips are not necessary these days.
