People Are Attacking Apple And Google Busses, Windows Smashed But No Injuries

Apple and Google employees can ride chartered buses to get to work, but this became a problem recently when people started attacking the transports. The incidents occurred in San Francisco, California, where the busses were hit with what could be either pellet guns or rocks. The attacks broke some windows, but fortunately, no one has been injured.

The attacks apparently occurred over the past several days, but even after all that time, there are still no hints as to who the perpetrators were. According to authorities, the busses also had no logos of any kind to indicate that they are carrying Apple or Google employees, PC Mag reports. In fact, the busses were unmarked, which ironically might have made them clear marks.

As a result of these incidents, the busses are now being rerouted to prevent further attacks from occurring. As to why the transports would be targeted, in the first place, there have been occasions in the past where the very concept of company busses picking up employees itself was a point of contention.

Some in the public believe that corporations should not be allowed to pick up employees at public stops if they are not paying taxes. The arrangement is reportedly causing disruption for other commuters, causing the relationship to be strained. There is even the concern by the public that the tech buses are driving up rent in certain areas of the city.

In a letter that Apple sent to its employees, which was obtained by Mashable, the company warned its workers about the incidents and told them about its cooperation with authorities. Considering that there is still no suspect or even an explanation as to what is being used to attack the busses, however, it’s only natural that the employees might still be feeling anxious.

“Due to recent incidents of broken windows along the commute route, specifically on highway 280, we’re re-routing coaches for the time being. This change in routes could mean an additional 30-45 minutes of commute time in each direction for some riders,” the letter reads.
