it is not true a report in august there's severe problems with the schedule for the central subway in addition there are approximately 4 hundred reasons comparing sfmta capital projects that either had or will have cost overruns as revealed in the sfmta cpa program and the 2012 audit so the bottom line is the loosely written 5 hundred prop measure will further cost overruns not related to the mayors transit p t f plan with the prop a fund only a portion

for streets and the rest for cost overruns if you want to look at this report user this address i'd like to submit a copy of the report to the directors packet. >> thank you. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> hello how are you i just want to tell you i'm driving 22 years as the cab driver i never see this situation in those 22 years can be driver is logging everything nor me it's a disaster a big mistake to come to this job and i'm asking you guys remember you bring this situation to us with the guys that destroyed the people's lives right now i can't i'm 62

>> good afternoon, sir. >> who was first. >> yeah. respected chairman and directors i'm a cab driver and medallion holder i'd like to bring frustration in front of you first of all, i know did a lot of good things to the city as sfmta but the worst thing you brought in t nc is a taxi service an illegal taxi service that grow under our watch they raise their rates they drive at $2 a mile or $10 a mile we can't do this they should be stopped and i i mean, i'm helpless i

didn't do nothing when we had the uber please do something please do something we are being squeezed from every corner and cab companies also in trouble they wanted to sxreez the drivers it is hard to find a driver partner driver for a medallion holder very hard and please do something the frustration is growing it is talk is being to go on strike to occupy airports or block the exits in and out of the airport this thing may happen and not to be blamed on drivers please do something and this especially it is finally a blow it is almost

back to the cab industry thank you (clapping.) thank you. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon board i'm nicole sxhirgd walk san francisco many of you participated this weekend we spent with the leader this changed the landscape of for the people amidst some tough challenges he mentioned he almost got impeached for supporting pedestrian safety he didn't have organizations to support him but ultimately we see that his lesson is that he made the city safer for all

people in bothering at that especially those who didn't previous have a voice in the political process i say this because yesterday was another deadly day with one pedestrian killed and 3 series injuries on our its streets it would be a lie to say that this isn't, true try the 60 percent is on 6 streets and from 8 months ago you adapted vision zero i'm excited to see tom on board and talking about vision zero already and want to encourage you all to this about we have those 24 projects now 40 projects you all haven't seen or talked about

leading i'm not kidding this could be you next, i want to address the transit lanes on third can you make it clear those are not a bake lane is it someone can you answer that can you make it understood clearly those are not bike lanes the bicyclists claim it is even though it's marked clearly they're getting nasty they honk their horns and they spit on me and claim that lane as their own it's ours it's ours the enforcement at the ball park we can't get to the stand between brandon it's loaded up with town cars and their soliciting our

folks i said they're out there harassing cab drivers krurment task force to get new drivers two uber drivers on that task force i don't think that uber drivers should be on the task force frankly the public relations they're taking taxis to improve our relationships as far as damage control and public health we need that more than muni does thank you. (clapping.) >> daniel. >> is daniel here? is daniel here in moving on alex and (calling names) >> okay.

>> good afternoon, sir. >> good afternoon. >> are you alex. >> mta destroyed everything first, they stole from us medallion worker in the police department after they made us to buy it because they say you never get it after that we evaluate i'm driving myself it cost me 5 thousand dollars a month i'm broke 24 hundred payments and 14 hundred for radio and one thousand mta fee plus one thousand cuts for maintenance i can drive only 5 days 11 hours it is made my days cost me $250 a day it's illegal because mta takes approximately 9 hundred shift because they

control the business unless they're driving hire someone professional and we continue to work because the work can - uber stay everywhere they motorcycles and driver by and say nothing they give 5 thousand medallions i can find drivers because they cut half insurance cheaper i don't need to pay $5,000 i drive for 10 years i don't have tickets why $8,000 a month don't higher stupid drivers second i should know no radio why should they make from city cheaper

okay. because of the sold so many medallions we don't have drivers we should lower thank you. >> thank you, sir (clapping.) (calling names) good afternoon mr. blue beggar. >> thank you, chairman i'm with the taxi drivers alliance i want to run by a a thought experiment let's say somebody was running an illegal taxi company in san francisco for years they have a lot of vehicles it's well documented and then they it came to you and asked to the mta and asked for a color scheme permit to run a cab company would you issue that no you'd laugh them out of the room that's exactly

what has happened at the airport we've been suing the airport completely illegally without authority and go in and apply for permits and their issued what is going here? what is going on here this is the systemic destruction of the cab company as a whole and the drivers are not going to stand for that we provide a service those guys don't they pick and choose their riders they get the up the scale riders and the relationship is basically, it's political it is between a parasite and host and leaves us there to do the rest you can't let this happen you have to get

involved to a much greater stent than you have and if not, we're lost and if we're lost where are you thank you >> (calling names) good afternoon, sir. >> thank you director reiskin i agree with the remarks of the previous taxi speakers it's mind blolg what the airport is doing those t n t vehicles are uninsured the drivers have no license for the commercial transportation. >> sir please ladies and gentlemen, pay attention to the speaker. >> the drivers are not screened for criminal background look at the claw hammer attack some guy was out near daily city gets out

and hammers someone in the skull those are the people we're picking up at the airport now those people are not compliant with sequa the environmental laws a the the laws, etc. i think the city of san francisco is going to get sued in a car catches on fire and a driver that's not trained has an accident those people are committing insurance fraud until the governor's law goes into effect next july every driver is hiding the fact they're doing commercial bus without the council for the insurance dave jones the insurance commissioner has stated this is fraud it continues regarding and want to stay the city of chicago there's a lawsuit from people that bought

medallions there was a breach of contract and fraud i'm part of the committee on mta for the improvement we're going to mediate a couple of million dollars to service the public it should come out of the 20 thousand a year from the medallions maybe you'll give us $10,000 thank you. >> next speaker >> (calling names). >> good afternoon ms. wood. >> yes. good afternoon naming a joan wood i've lived in north beach since 1962 i'm here because of a letter i got last month from joan of mta and said that he's probably going to present to you the

plants for 3 bulb outs in north beach off of stockton street va a lot grand and green that hass will eliminate a parking lane i've had a disability for 11 years now, it's difficult for me to wake for a long term and i use taxis occasionally this is part of the walk first program and the body of the letter says you've chosen to create those bulb outs is as a safety project they've picked all over san francisco corridors over the 50 years one death not anywhere near 10 blocks away from this location down in columbus and

tailor not near the place i don't think it's there fair that all of you appointed by the mayor so you have interests to represent not mine there isn't anyone but my supervisor he's not speaking up for the drivers i want to ask you to deny those i don't think they're really in the interest of safety and the fire department they have dropped their objections it drops traffic to a single lane. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names.) >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon as well arrest

cab driver over 20 years. >> cue tell me our first name. >> marianne you're supposed to regulate find a big fat couey mingled it i think 5 thousand dollars a year this was but now regulating it the city is losing the money and fortunes are changing hands payroll so the only thing i can say the fish smells from the head and this one sucks it is bad as it can get it is unbelievable for a world-class city to make decisions of this sortie think this is the beginning for as people said other progressions by deregulating the way you're

doing and fortunes are changing hands if that's the new order of things expect trouble. >> thank >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names.) >> good afternoon mrs. florence. >> ladies and gentlemen, of the audience and commissioners good afternoon generally i've stopped coming to those meetings for the last four to five years i've spoken about various taxi problems you haven't initiated or started one program for one reason there's not one taxi driver on this commission not one working within the sfmta to promote taxi benefits for
