Google enters into a contract with the sea driver

Sometimes the discontent of the "advanced" residents of San Francisco has no boundaries. So because of the traffic jams that Google’s corporate buses created while delivering employees to work, the company decided to hire a private sea carrier.

The discontent was caused by the fact that Google buses used city stops to collect their employees. What caused the delays of regular transport, as well as the envy of local residents who were not allowed into the company's buses. But the real motives lie in the fact that citizens associate the increase in the cost of living in the city with living in it a well-earning horde of programmers. In general, the bourgeoisie have come!

"We definitely do not want to cause inconvenience to residents of San Francisco and are looking for alternative ways to deliver our employees," Google said.

From last week, Google employees began to deliver the high-speed catamaran Triumphant, which is capable of taking on 149 people at a time, including the crew. It is worth noting that earlier this vessel was used to hold expensive buffets, or rented for whale watching. The sea trip from the port of San Francisco to Redwood City takes 47 minutes.

The vessel makes four flights a day: two in the morning and two in the evening. Will Triumphant finally "corporate" transport, Google is not yet known. They experiment and look at the mood and feedback of their employees.

Meanwhile, Peter Daily, director of the San Francisco Port Authority, is hoping that the example of Google will lead other technology companies to it. They are in the district a dime a dozen, and local unhappy with them no less than Google.

For other technology companies that still use corporate transportation, the authorities are considering maintaining fees for using city stops in the amount of $ 100,000 a year.
