List re-arrangement question

I'm trying to do something like the following:
Transpose[{{{a1, a2, a3}, {a1}, {a1, a2, a3}}, {{b1, b2, b3}, {b1},
{b1, b2, b3}}}, {3, 1, 2}]

expecting to get:
{{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}, {a3, b3}}, {{a1, b1}}, {{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}, {a3,
b3}}}

However, it looks like Transpose doesn't work with "ragged"
arrays...so what is the recommended Mathematica style to do the above
transformation?
