. >> my name is andrew mathia and i am a cab driver in san francisco and i would like to say that in my lifetime tabies have been regulated by the bodies, the regulations in place have been fought out over decades and the tncs come in and start to operate illegally, and are ordered to stop, and now they are just allowed to continue on with their business model which is basically dangerous to people. taxi cabs are limited in number in san francisco because they are a limited number of passengers we don't issue the permits based on how busy it is, we base it on how slow it is. if it is more often slow than it is busy. and when you allow these companies whose only interest is making money because they make money off of the number of people so they put on the streets, their incentive and to put more and more vehicles on the streets so they can make more money and it is not safe because the drivers have to live and make a living and so they are encouraged to drive faster, uber and lift business model encourages them to drive unsafely. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> hi. >> my nam
