Protesters block Apple, Google buses in San Francisco area

A bus driver, with workers from the technology industry, looks on from his bus as it is blocked during a protest against rising costs of living in San Francisco By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Protesters blocked buses said to be operated by Google Inc and Apple Inc in San Francisco and Oakland on Friday, the latest sign of a growing backlash against the booming tech industry's impact, especially on access to affordable housing in the region. A small sign in the front window said only "Main Campus, Ridgeview." An Internet search showed that Apple has offices on Ridgeview Court, not far from its headquarters in Cupertino, California, 40 miles south of San Francisco. Two Google buses in Oakland were also targeted by protesters on Friday morning, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. "We want the ruling class, which is becoming the tech class, to listen to our voices and listen to the voices of folks that are being displaced," said a protester in San Francisco who addressed the crowd by loudspeaker from the back of a pickup truck parked in front of the bus.
