The Daily Commute in San Francisco entering the digital age

Click title for video of new commuter bus in San Franciso, a bus like you've never seen before. From the article in CityLab:
     Close your eyes, listen to this video's soundtrack, and try to imagine what's happening. Are climbers cresting Everest's mighty peak? Is a physically disabled runner overcoming all odds to win the New York Marathon?
     Nope. The rousing score is touting an ad for San Francisco's new luxury-bus service, Leap Transit.
     After a couple years of testing, the private line opened this week for service between the Marina District and downtown. It's sort of the anti-Muni for the young tech crowd. 
The slogan for Leap Transit is "Your daily commute. Redesigned." It won't be long before Orlando and Miami come up with a similar service.
