Providing the bus service is a sensible and logical idea. It has many benefits.

It on the other hand provides a tangible, accessible symbol to demonization and attack with rhetoric.

Don't like it? Then you might think a bit when a news network or a comedy show starts hammering a group.

[edit] I should add I don't agree with the protestor's plan of action or targets, I'm just trying to explain why and how effective their targeting is. Its a long tradition and very easy for the public to buy into.
