Protesting Private Buses

The Antiplanner is delightfully dyspeptic today.
One of the more ridiculous debates going on this month is the protests over Google and other companies providing commuter bus services for their employees in the San Francisco Bay Area. No one ever comments on how much better it is for the environment that people are taking buses to work instead of driving. No one ever comments on how the fact that at least 18,000 people take private buses to work is a devastating indicator of the failure of the region’s expensive transit system.

You didn’t quote the funniest part: San Francisco is one of the most romantic cities in the world, easily the equal of Paris and Venice and ahead of just about everywhere else.
