 * I think the biggest question is whether the 2018 bus is substantially the same as the ones the protests were over, given the article describes a process of regulation and requirements for them that happened in response to the protests. My vote would depend on that. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 19:05, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * As I understand it, the bus fleets themselves didn't change significantly, only the rules they followed in arranging their stops in the city. The image, to me, reflects Rebecca Solnit's description: The luxury coach passengers ride for free and many take out their laptops and begin their work day on board; there is of course wifi. Most of them are gleaming white, with dark-tinted windows, like limousines, and some days I think of them as the spaceships on which our alien overlords have landed to rule over us. grendel&#124;khan 20:17, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose I don't think a picture of a bus is the best picture of a protest, even if the protest is about buses. Mattximus (talk) 03:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose - lacks context. Like Mattximus, I'm not seeing how this bus is connected with Google or a protest. Do you know what make of bus this is? This image would illustrate that quite effectively. MER-C 11:51, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * What do you think of its use in Googleplex? I think I'll at least Weak support on the basis of that usage. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 12:48, 20 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose – A bus and a building, with no one doing anything, do not constitute EV. Yawn. Sca (talk) 13:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose – It perhaps has EV. But that alone doesn't make it an FP, and this is just too static. Daniel Case (talk) 18:32, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
