what the interior will look like. i envision kind of an open process for example, it's a much different situation what we the with the new buses but we went around to a variety of the stakeholders and said what do you know think. if the case part of the seating what it looks like depends upon what else you know where they're going to put certain components in the car maybe not under the seats and frankly in one sentence if you were to excuse me. what would be the one improvement we'd among on the design of the exciting cars you want the components out from under the bottom of the car to

the side are top because that's problematic for a variety of reasons. i'm not trying to not answer your question >> maybe i don't understand the process. my local thinking is if i feel the interior design is important and it's a positive change i certainly wouldn't want to buy cars and spend more money to change the format. it's easier to say those are my requirement and put it out to bid and a let them design s it and give a bid. maybe again, i'm not understanding that maybe our purchase is so small they don't care what we think >> that's certainly a

possibility. we could express our preferences for seating design >> so i wanted to say we have to finish this meeting as quickly as we can were let me ask if commissioners breed and yee have any concluding remarks. in terms in terms of commissioner yee do i have a cost estimate for the current cars and potentially can be the cost estimate of designing the seats in the somewhat with potentially the same cars we anticipate. do you have a comparison for example, it will take x amount of dollars and imply cars would be this cost to do it the old

way and this cost for the new way the new way is the reconfiguration >> it that clear? >> certainly i don't have one handy but there's one that certainly could create under like a conversion there's two sets of numbers but it's not a difficult exercise to go through. >> i want to respond. you could do is cost thing but i'm factoring in if we get those cars and then it takes forever to convert i mean, we're converting two >> exactly so we've taken that

into consideration and i guess i'd like for if we move this afford i'm holy we, talk about more than one car and determine if this is the best way to move forward and in our new vehicles as well because of the ability to move more passengers. i'm hoping we can come back in the next couple of months well, after we've implemented the pilot and come back and talk about what the results are. and if the relatives are positive i'm sure it will be in a timely manner to make this part of the rfps for the design of the new cars >> commissioner weaning. >> thank you a few things. first of all, in terms of the next generation i cannot imagine

there's no new costs vs. it will be up to muni and the manufacturer b will do whatever the sprefgss are. i hope as this is successful i think it will be we'll consider that and we'll have r v where we'll run 3 car trains in the subway speaker i want to mention there's a reference for disability access. i think because there are 0 seats for disabilities and citizens are challenging if i don't get a seat it's such a narrow way to get through if you have any kind of equipment with you are you're not particle mobile it's challenging and the more you open up the r vs you have alters more space that's

better for citizens and people with disabilities. i want to thank mr. haley i know that when supervisor breed and i suggested this the agency was not sold and i thank you for giving it thought in moving it forward >> i know that voice chair hale i didn't has talked about the access and hopefully, this allows a pilot project. so when supervisor wiener and others went to mexico city at any time clear you get on and off a lot call your next witnesser so that would be helpful as well. thank you very much i like our

honesty about not knowing your answer to the question and your flowery words you called it the perpetuate team >> very quickly i know you've got to take public comment but we're only talking about one train and i was wondering can he do more than one train for a pilot? >> if you accounted repeat question. >> so we were talking about potentially connecticut doing one train for point pilot and i think potentially we get a lot better data if we account do more than one train could we do are more than one train. >> we're trying to balance the car count and because i want, you know, we're at 1 fourteen i clearly don't want to reduce the schedule and i want to get the 3

car trains and put away a unsettle into the schedule. so i suggested the timing two rec that are come back. so if we could do the design make up to make sure we can make changes safely and then agree on, you know, some of the evaluation criteria harassing as to how we'll see how this works certainly the ridership but if there's some other benefits cheaper maintenance or whatever we'll put that in as well. so i guess to answer your question those two are come back together. you know, there's not in our system it's not practical right now for a variety of reasons we couldn't say this car is going

to be on one line and the other >> so the answer is no. >> yeah. we can designate them but the answer to our question yeah, i'll certainly look at your question and the interest >> thank you so much mr. haley and gentleman we have to move the meeting along. colleagues that is an informational item and i hope there will be a review sometime. now anyone from the public that wishes to speak? >> okay we've already had public comment and it's closed. ms. chang >> the major project update. so we're going to continue this

informational item to the next meeting and we'll open this up to the public. anyone from the public wish to speak. sorry for the wait on this one >> and i apologize for taking our time. what i want to do briefly is to attract our attention to the last item in the packet. this doesn't have any resemblance. we had 6 hundred and 8 million but there is $400 million disappearing i don't see the 4

hundred million. the 3 things are on the land files we're down to 18 million and there's a 1 and $5 million that have disappeared and we have $377 million in tiffier we're down to 1 hundred and 34. money has disappeared i presented a different alignment. we've designed the tunnel to trans bay. we initialing assumed this to be a $600 million envelope. that tunnel can be done we have the tunnel dynamics we have the alignment fixed. and we've also loud for a

potential future mission bay station if the city wishes to go that way. if the board so desires i'll sit down with you >> monthly on the public wishes to peculiar seeing none, public comment is closed. >> informational item. >> anyone from the public wishdz to speckle. item 12 public comment >> anyone from the pun wishes to speak. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> any other item on the agenda. >> no adjournment. >> we're

testing captions test test captions test test test test test
