Waymo推出过津奖励计划鼓励乘客使用公共交通

Waymo宣布启动首个过津奖励计划，在旧金山湾区向同时使用其打车服务和公共交通的乘客发放现金奖励。1根据该计划，乘客在2小时内使用Visa卡乘坐Waymo和涵盖27个公交机构的公共交通，可获得2.85美元的Waymo现金奖励，相当于旧金山公交车费。1该计划将首先向员工开放，随后逐周向公众推广。1

为加强与公共交通的衔接，Waymo同时与Caltrain达成合作，租用40个专用停车位。1加州运输部长Toks Omishakin表示："州长纽瑟姆要求我们打造能满足加州人需求的运输系统，这意味着到站的车程要和列车一样轻松。"1圣荷塞市长Matt Mahan指出："这种伙伴关系通过新技术加强公共交通而非取代它。"1Waymo的调查显示，在其成熟服务区（旧金山、洛杉矶、凤凰城）中，超过50%的乘客使用公共交通。1

Waymo has introduced its first transit rewards initiative, offering financial incentives to passengers who combine Waymo rides with public transportation in the San Francisco Bay Area 1. The program provides Waymo Cash rewards of $2.85—equivalent to a San Francisco transit fare—when riders use a contactless Visa card to travel on both Waymo vehicles and public transit within a two-hour window 1. The initiative will initially be available to employees before rolling out to the general public over the coming weeks 1.

The rewards program covers 27 Bay Area transit agencies that accept contactless Visa payments 1. As part of the expansion, Waymo has partnered with Caltrain to lease 40 dedicated parking spaces, strengthening connections between autonomous vehicle services and rail transit 1. California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin stated that "the Governor asked us to build a transportation system that works for Californians, and that means getting to the station should be as easy as getting on the train" 1. San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized that "this partnership strengthens public transit through new technology rather than replacing it" 1.

Surveys show that more than 50 percent of Waymo passengers in mature service areas—including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix—use public transportation 1.
