Google's buses looked pretty full a lot of the time (a few years ago at least). The economics of those are probably pretty good. That said: I doubt city buses are that bad either. Data is needed for both of these points, speculation is

What is the alternative here? The default search position is very valuable. If Google didn't pay for it, someone else would. Should Apple auction it off but disallow Google from winning it? That seems maybe OK I guess? Should Apple tak
