“San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee announced Thursday that Google has donated almost $7 million to the city so that low-income children can have free rides on city buses for two years. The move comes as the Mountain View, Calif.-based tech giant’s luxury buses have become a symbol of stratification in the Bay Area. Lee’s office touted the $6.8 million gift as ‘one of the largest private contributions towards direct City services in San Francisco history.’ San Francisco Board of Supervisors President David Chiu said ‘it’s good to see Google support the next generation of Muni riders.'”
