There are an estimated 1,020 private commuter shuttle buses in the Bay Area, a private transportation system worth more than $250 million. This vast commuter network tailored for tech workers is sapping energy from a regional transportation revolution.http://read.medium.com/b3uKimf
The tech industry flooded a system that was unprepared to handle a population that grew from 5.1 million in 1980 to 7.8 million in 2018. Meanwhile, the greater area lacks even basic public transportation networks.http://read.medium.com/b3uKimf
Notably, the Bay Area dragged its feet when it came to regional public transit. Chicago opened its subway in 1892; New York City followed in 1904. But the Bay Area launched its subway service, BART, only in 1972.http://read.medium.com/b3uKimf
When the shuttles first emerged, prices for apartments within proximity of a shuttle stop skyrocketed.
“Parts of San Francisco are functioning as bedroom communities for suburban corporate campuses,” noted @StreetFightSF in 2015.

In 2013, @argoldman, a community-based city planner in San Francisco, published a paper outlining the shuttles’ effect on rent.
Using data from PadMapper, she concluded that the shuttles were inextricably linked to a housing shortage.http://read.medium.com/b3uKimf
The paper coincided with a growing public unease with the buses. Activists blocked streets to stop buses and tried to rush onboard. Windows were smashed, tires slashed, and the nonplussed and confused employees accosted and harassed at shuttle stops.https://twitter.com/craigsfrost/status/414074094578307072 …
William Bacon, a transport analyst for the MTC, says the shuttles’ impact eluded planners for years.
“[They] had flown under the radar for a lot of people,” Bacon says. “You saw it out there, but you didn’t really know.”

Lol! How is THIS wrong now? Tech companies offering mass transit, not on the taxpayer dime & keeping thousands upon thousands of other individual cars off the roadways. Faux outrage stinks
So is wrong for companies to provide good transportation to their employees?
How did this magically become trending news a day later with no likes or retweets.
They had another story with less likes or retweets trending the other day. I assume this is either paid content or someone at @Twitter moving the story up.
