There is a growing tension between the communities and the tech industries in San Francisco and Oakland.
There were three bus protests in all - two Google buses in Oakland and one Apple Bus in San Francisco. The protesters are upset with the rising rents due to highly paid tech workers moving into the city which resulted in blocking the buses shuttling employees to and from Silicon Valley offices to their San Francisco and Oakland homes.

In Oakland, protesters attacked a Google bus on Friday smashing a window and distributing fliers reading "Get the fuck out of Oakland" to Google employees on board.
And in San Francisco, demonstrators blocked an Apple bus, holding signs
and even carrying a wooden coffin bearing the message "Affordable
housing."
