It seems like most of the feedback here is about how they will monetize, not necessarily how the app actually functions, no?
Can't speak for daily SF users, but as an NYC commuter who goes places other than just work and home on a regular basis, Embark has been far and away the best thing on my iPhone.
Also, my schedule isn't always fixed, so Embark is great at telling me when trains are coming, etc. etc.
I agree that there's lots of transit apps, I've downloaded a lot of them, but I end up keeping the Embark ones.
if you read through it, (2) specifically is about usage and adoption, not monetization. commute in bay area is more limited to work and back -- most of the folks in east bay and south bay dont use / rely on public transport for their weekend travel.
