San Francisco's big push to make tech corporations pay for years of clogging city bus stops ended with a shrug. Starting today, the 18-month pilot program will charge a mere $3.55 per-stop fee for shuttle operators. But organizations figured out a way to avoid even that small token of goodwill just by crossing the street.

The protests against tech corporation shuttle buses have gone from high production value to gross out gags.

The only thing more laughable than protestors demanding that tech corporations pay San Francisco $1 billion/year for illegally using public bus stops is Mayor Ed Lee's proposed solution. His plan calls for companies like Google to pay a pitiful $1 per bus stop squat.

As if the princely perk of being shuttled to and fro to your campus palace weren't enough, free gadgets and job offers have also been laid at the feet of Google employees in Saratoga as they begin their morning commute.
