Apple Temporarily Rerouting Employee Shuttles Due to Ongoing Vandalism
Mac rumors ^ | 17 Jan 2018 | Juli Clover

An employee who spoke to Mashable said that several shuttles have suffered from broken windows, and on an internal email thread, there was speculation that it could be due to "rubber rounds" fired at the buses. There have been at least four reports of broken windows on January 12 and January 16.

The MS gang?

Or just ordinary leftwing moonbats:

Apple shuttles have, in the past, been the target of protestors frustrated by the tech industry's impact on affordable housing and the cost of living in the Bay Area.

Local scum with blue hair but poor job prospects hate tech workers “cuz they drive up housing prices” —which is mostly true.

But these are mostly people who wear a whole hardware store on their face and other body parts.

A tour bus I was on was hit by some paint gun rounds in Mexico City. Wouldn’t surprise me if the same was going on here. Stay outta my hood basically.

The whole idea of employee shuttles from SF to Silicon Valley is totally insane. I’m glad I bugged out of Frisco before that idea was hatched.

there was speculation that it could be due to "rubber rounds" fired at the buses.

Of course it would have to be someone firing a gun using rubber bullets, because there just aren't enough rocks and bricks to be thrown and they just don't sound as bad.

If you are making $300K at Apple, you might be able to afford to live right in Cupertino.

For example, check out this 1,071 sq foot 3 bdrm 1 bathroom bungalow...

List price...$1,598,000. Estimate mortgage - $6,148/mo.

BTW, the price was dropped $500k over the past 30 days. Seller must be anxious.

I think my living room is more than 1,071 sq feet.

300K for a worker, not a management type?

Nice work, if you can get it.

Someone or some group is attacking or shooting at Apple employee shuttle busses from San Francisco to Cupertino, breaking windows with projectiles, endangering the employees, forcing a re-routing of the busses. — PING!

I used to live in Santa Clara in a home slightly bigger than that.

Even at low speeds, that kind of formation isn’t easy to maintain.

...an additional 30-45 minutes of commute time in each direction for some riders.

Sounds like they're avoiding I280 now according to the article. It's hard to believe taking US101 would add that much time but I haven't been out there for over 20 years. Maybe surface streets?
