Around corners in San Francisco Bay Area, you will see dozens of shiny white coaches with dark-tinted windows, no logo, but an LED display showing "GBUS TO MTV". It has been an usual scene of the morning SF. In fact, these are Google's commuter buses ferrying 4,500 - 5,000 employees every day to and from Googleplex in Mountain View which is 40 miles away.
These commuter bus services - not only for Google, but also other tech giants like Facebook and Electronic Arts - stirred controversies last year. Some views suggested that the bus services enabled the high-paid tech people to move into San Francisco and thus driving up the cost of homes. Some also opposed their unpaid use of public bus stops leading to delays and congestion.
Earlier this year, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) required these firms to pay US$1 per day for each public stop used for picking up or dropping off their employees. Later, the agency conducted an 18-month "Commuter Shuttle Pilot Program" to increase fees and impose more regulations for the use of a shared Muni and commuter shuttle stops network. A permit (as shown in the photo between two headlights) had to be applied.

Pretty sure it is a #google It was right behind a google bus which was behind a tech bus which turned down 24th
And it was followed by a Genentech bus. And then another tech bus turned onto Valencia from 24th heading to 26th

In the pouring rain before the #google bus blockade, he said unlike some supervisors who just had proclamations stamped, he signed every one himself.
He said the proclamation said Raymond "Shrimpboy" Chow which seemed a bit fishy, so he googled and didn't sign. Mayor Ed Lee, others supervisors and politicians did.
