You give up autonomy if you car pool. If you drive yourself and you want to stay late, no problem. But if you car pool, you've got to work it out.
And in some big cities, the PT isn't reliable unless you are willing to leave hours before you need to be at work. Otherwise, you might be really late because the published schedule and the actual schedule don't line up that much.
I think you see an interest in PT and car pooling when the commute takes a long time, HOV lanes give a real advantage, and it's really expensive to park at work. Otherwise, it's worth an increase in cost to maintain your independence.
(I'll admit I have no first hand experience with this; it's what I've observed with others.)
