Bloody posted:why? the company pays taxes, which subsidize mass transit, which includes buses. why not ride the bus? Well usually the municipal bus service won't go to the company campus because no matter how many people work at Google, it's not worth it to create a dedicated bus route there. That is where google comes in and specifically pays to create their own routes (that are available for use by non-google employees). The way it works in the valley, afaik, google buys their own buses, and sends them on select existing routes only for google employees, and bars non-employees from using them, while also using existing bus lanes etc. Sure they pay some amount of taxas, but it's creating tiered access to what should be a public good.

You could be focusing on the two tiered prison system, two tiered education system, two tiered employment prospects, two tiered anything else. Instead you are worried about how a private company chooses to provide perks to its employees? I am sure google is paying for the taxes (gas taxes too) , licensing, and complying with all laws. If the municipality cared about what google is doing, they could tax private buses and use the money to fund new bus routes. I worked at a lovely megacorp that had a really good, cheap cafeteria. It would be the same as decrying my company for not letting the public eat there

A Wheezy Steampunk posted:a more analogous situation would be: what if your company took over a public park for a bbq every day? How is that analogous? A BBQ sits in one spot for 8 hours, and a bus occupies a section of road (not at a stop) for... 5 seconds? How does a bus in a lane keep other people from using it? What if I want to send a loving across town? Does the existence of UPS trucks deny me that right? Bill Gates is driving on i-40. Everyone else that needs to use it is just hosed I guess. duTrieux. posted:except for local transit which is displaced and wear/tear on the roads and infrastructure, but whatever Roads that were built for anyone to use as long as they paid a gas tax. Of all things to complain about regarding wear and tear (trucking), a bus (which reduces wear and tear) is not one of them. Dolomite posted:if google buses can use city bus stops, i should too. i pay my gas tax, comply with all laws and licensing If you are driving a vehicle that can hold more than 12 people and sought pre-approval, I don't think anyone would stop you.

quote:They found that rents around the stops used by the Google buses were up to 20% higher than in otherwise comparable areas. They also found that 30-40% of tech workers would in fact move closer to their jobs if the bus service did not exist. basically rich people are making GBS threads it up for everyone else, but that's not new

That isn't a problem inherent with google operating shuttles. Lol if you think anyone who rides a shuttle to work is "rich". Slightly better off than you are sure. Rich? Not so sure. You guys are bringing up a lot of things that have broad implications in society, but are using the dumbest thing to rally around.
