I have friends @ Google who tell me horror stories about rude, reckless drivers, poorly maintained buses that break down on the freeway, etc. etc.
As for me, I was one hour late for work today because my "new, deluxe bus with leather seats and cup holders (not) showed up late with no communication to our faithful group of commuters. I guess if Yahoo saves enough money on service cutbacks we can successfully stave off the Microsoft unfriendly takeover that is inevitable...this is a textbook case of people who don't use the service dictating the lives of those of us who do...

All the Y! buses are brand new, complete with new bus smell.

If this ungrateful tipster is complaining about the lack of leather seats and cup holders (boohoo, I want my mommy), maybe it's time he/she did move onto another company, or even better use the Caltrain.. I hear they have faux leather headrests and cup holders in 1 of 3 seats.

Vancouver, BC, just had its latest snowfall on record. How the hell can we speed up this "globull warming"? I'm doing my part.

The Y! brand is well established. They don't need to call attention to the fact that they are still chauffeuring their spoiled employees around in buses. These employees are making enough money and can afford to be paying for their own transportation.

The new buses just haven't been "wrapped" yet - *all* of the buses use Biodiesel just like the old Compass pieces of shit.

Valleywag, you were wrong - there was *NO* cutback in service and while the first day was rough (what first day of any launch isn't?) the service is actually *expanded* and is on far better vehicles.

PS - Bauer has actually ordered *new* buses for Yahoo (newer than the Google ones) however they weren't received in time for the launch.

Nice try, scooped again by your own people.

Valleywag: 1 (well, more like -2,000), Yahoo: 0 (well, more like -4,551).
