Google buses have a new parking lot — the Valencia St. median

August 7, 2014

I’ve seen the big bus shuttles stop on Valencia now and then, perhaps between runs, but now one section of the street has become something of a Google Bus Parking lot. This morning I saw two of them clogging the center lane, idling, for quite a while; when I stopped to take pictures, one of the drivers saw me and quickly pulled away.

There are lots of parking control officers in the area. Nobody was citing the Google buses.
