Man carjacks SuperShuttle in the city

Not exactly the most nondescript vehicle to steal...
If I were carjacked, I don't think finding a cab to get me to the airport would be tops on my priority list.

"After a few blocks, the new driver stopped the van and let the passengers out with their suitcases, according to SuperShuttle officials. The four stranded riders then called a taxi and split the fare to the airport.
The van was found Sunday afternoon in Alameda County, but the driver remains at large, police said."
Guess he was headed to OAK and not SFO!

...and said: "While carjackings are unusual in this industry, you are still expected to pay for your trip. Cash only, given that this is a carjacking. Gratuities are customary."

One of the best scenes ever.
"You kept on making the stops?"
"Well people kept ringing the bell!"

Passengers have become pragmatic in light of the whole Google/Yahoo bus thing. At least no one tried to block them from leaving the city.
