It's not a "bus line". It's a point to point service that causes parts of SF to become artificially more desirable to Google employees than they would be otherwise, whose wealth is propped up by Wall Street investment patterns.
This causes those particular neighborhoods to have housing costs move out-of-reach of median incomes.
Whether or not you see this as unjust is a matter of debate, but it's not equivalent to a city bus route, which is a resource for everyone.
The taste would be far more palatable if the Google workers were working in SF, and thus Google was paying taxes on the work of these employees in SF. That would bring proportional funds into the city to cover infrastructure costs. Unfortunately, Google can pay lower office costs in the south bay because of the sprawl pattern.
