    The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will consider a plan to charge tech buses $1 per stop to use city bus stops, as some housing activists want the board to reject the buses. While residents have argued tech buses hog intersections, activists say the new payment plan was approved without an environmental review and the buses increase pollution and housing costs. An attorney appealing the plan says the stops could be better located to minimize environmental impacts, while a supervisor supports the buses and does not want them blamed for the city's housing issues.

    The buses that carry tech workers from San Francisco to Silicon Valley
    might have to pay to use city bus stops, under a plan supervisors will
    consider today.

    Jack Detsch [[Det-CH]] reports, some housing activists want the board to
    rule against the buses.

    [[ Residents have argued that tech buses hogged busy intersections. In
    January the city came up with a solution: charge tech companies a dollar per
    stop.

    But activists say the new plan was done without an environmental review--
    that the buses increase pollution and housing costs.

    Attorney Richard Drury is leading the appeal.
    We could identify the best places to have these stops. There are
    mitigations that would allow these buses to operate in a way that
    minimizes its environmental impact.

    Supervisor Scott Wiener supports the buses and says they shouldn't be the
    scapegoat for San Francisco's housing woes.
