Protesters blocked tech buses Tuesday morning, this time at Eighth and Market Streets and at other areas close to City Hall in San Francisco. Once again, Google takes the heat for not only adding clunky private buses to City streets (or, in all actuality, for reducing the number of cars on the roads) but for the current socio-economic and class war now underway.
This morning's bus blocking/protest prefaces today's SF MTA's vote on bus fees. Here are a few scenes of today's protest.

There also seem to be tons of reporters at the scene. Of course.
