UberPool in SF is currently $7 each way within city limits and my wife takes it to/from work frequently.
Compared to us buying a second car, this is incredibly cost-effective, and would be worth it at 3x the price. (Monthly cost of ownership of a used car in SF would be ~$1000/mo including parking spaces at work and home).
The only other cost-competitive option is MUNI, which is $2.25 each way (or less if you commit to a monthly pass, and/or pay using before-tax income). She does use MUNI occasionally, but there are no direct routes serving her commute, and it is often unreliable at commute times.
Ridesharing for commuters is not always some absurd luxury--it can be an economically sensible luxury :)
