Good question. I fail to see how these buses are any different from: * Megabus / BoltBus / other private bus companies that park on city streets (mentioned in the parent comment) * privately chartered bus (for a school or community group) Is the issue that they are crowding out actual city buses? Because I could see that would be a problem if the Google bus waits X minutes at a bus stop and people need to walk around it to get to the "real" city bus. But if it just shows up to pick up a handful of people and then leaves, without disrupting the regular public transport, I don't see what the issue is, or why these "activists" are so butthurt about it.
