the private busses, there are no limits on the number of private busses that could be in operation in san francisco. this is a real concern, this is not in the e.i.r. in fact, section 3.4.4.5 of the final e.i.r., which is about the effects of the project on taxi and shuttle operation states the build alternative would not affect taxi or shuttle operations beyond the effects of vehicle shuttle traffic, which sounds like the only vehicles that are supposed to be in these are transit vehicles. there are questions about federal funding and i would like at u.s. department of transportation, i don't have time to read some of the documentation we found about what red lanes are, but you need to go look that up and look into it. but they have specifications, this is a project that's received a lot of federal funding at least $16.9 million in federal funds. you could amend this legislation today to be transit-only. transit-only is public transit according to the california vehicle code. public transit. transit-only doesn't include private busses. thank you. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. than

and more delay for the busses. it's hard because you want to give access to everyone but the more places you provide access the slower the bus gets and that prevents trade off. we space the local stops and busses more frequently but we still have standards we follow that seem to be the best ways to balance the competing interests that exist. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. director rubke. it sounds like the board's pleasure is we go with the staff's recommendation. >> a. torres: except for me. >> chair c. brinkman: except director torres. you are a no on that. i would like to move on the spruce street rapid stop. we do not legislate whether a stop is a rapid or local so that's not actually something that is in our calendar item but is something in the plan that staff will be doing. so what i would like to do is get directors input so we can give staff some input and direction on this one. vice chair heinicke, would you like to start off? >> vice chair m. heinicke: price of leadership. or sitting next to cheryl. so

generally we have wraps on both busses and the light rail vehicles, and they go on busses based upon the yard. [please stand by] people take bus at random times but they tend to take at the same consistent time. i'm not sure how the schedules are different but i just want to be mindful of that and look how we are impacting our riders with the wraps on the windows and make looking at how often, like how the distribution is happening across the lines and in lines where we are having any major service or rerouting of stops and others, really trying to avoid having those wraps, because i think it's very difficult when you can't see out the window and not familiar with where the stop is going to be. i understand it's a small decision overall for busses and i know in the grand scheme of things, it's not significant but because we are allowing people to choose the sites, we have a big weekend this weekend, we bought advertising and you pick areas you have the most traffic of the people you want to impact so i imagine there's disproportionate amount. >> can you remind us why the number is ca

now, in your planning, could you have allocated more busses? to compensate for the project at the west portal station and keep them because these are needed. we lack the resources. the taraval is an example, same rotten service as before. now also, what i don't like is the insensitivity of the community and its concerns. there have been so many protests, so many concerns and this board does not listen. it simply goes ahead with business as usual. with dog and pony shows and rubber stamping of the board. and i assume the decisions have even been made before this meeting. you have got to be more sensitive because now you see the result of it. you see a crisis. also, personally, as a result of all this, i get an increase in my monthly fast pass which is your response to the miserable service you give. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you. >> clerk: madam chair, that's the last person who turned in a speaker card on topics discussed by mr. reiskin. >> chair c. brinkman: do i have any more public comment from the director's report? come forward. if there
