I don't know why you refer to them as "luxury" shuttles. As far as I can tell, most of them don't even have working Wi-Fi. Those shuttles are keeping extra cars off the highway and the road. Why is that not a good thing? Also, not all of those shuttles are for Apple or Google, and many of them are not going anywhere near SF. They're going to areas of the South Bay where there are no practical public transport options. Even people that live in or near Mountain View take those shuttles (instead of driving) to places where they work in the South Bay. Same goes for Santa Clara caltrain and the Fremont BART station. Shuttles go from there to other places too. Personally, I think the shuttles would have been far less necessary or popular if the California Bay Area had a fast, efficient transport system that actually covered it. It's no wonder most people want to live in San Francisco, Palo Alto or Mountain View -- those locations all have some of the best public transport options and connections to other forms of transport as well. There are obviously other desirable aspects to those cities as well. As for your argument that people should live where they work -- there's not enough housing for that. Mountain View alone certainly doesn't have enough space for everyone that works at Google. Likewise, San Francisco doesn't have enough space for everyone that works there. Oh, sorry, let me correct that, Mountain View has plenty of housing -- if you're willing to pay ~$2700 a month for a two-bedroom apartment built in the 70s, $1.5 million+ for a new house (attached) or $2 million+ for a new, detached house. So before you grouse about so-called Luxury shuttles, stop and think about what the real problem is.
