Wow. 765 private shuttles for Bay Area tech workers carried 9.6 million people in 2014, averaging 34,000 people a day. At an operating cost of ~$250K per bus per year to employers. With $0 in public funding.https://twitter.com/ozm/status/1232334506054606848 …

I understand the many arguments against these private tech worker bus systems as laid out in the article. In particular, the fact that contracted workers such as janitors who work 40-hour weeks are not allowed to ride the buses alongside full-time employees is super lame.

However, the fact that these buses are replacing hundreds of thousands of private car trips per week at zero cost to municipalities is a good thing. Right?
