A group of anti-gentrification and transit activist filed suit today in San Francisco Superior Court hoping to kill the City-approved “Commuter Shuttle Pilot Program,” otherwise known as Muni’s Google Bus Compromise, which was approved in January.
They cite “devastating impacts on our neighborhoods” and Mayor Lee’s “double standard [of] rules for the tech industry and another set of rules for the rest of us.”
The buses carry thousands of workers to high-tech campuses from San Francisco to Silicon Valley as well as to sites around the city. Over the past year, the shuttles have become the object of repeated protests as the booming tech economy draws workers to the Bay Area, a trend that, in turn, has played a part in rising rents and an increasing number of evictions.
