As Google Bus Protests Continue, The Protesters Issue Concrete Demands

The Google bus saga continues in San Francisco, with protesters physically stopping buses on the road today, according to Valleywag.

Here's a recap, in case you've missed the ongoing issues: San Francisco residents are fed up with the gentrification and rising cost of living in the city, widely attributed to the influx of tech workers at companies like Google, Apple and Facebook.
