supervisor -- commissioner heinicke asked about the aps, yes, my only question is one enough? at luxury i'd like to see fly wheel and curb and halo and easy taxi and get taxi and about a dozen other viable aps that are out there integration with our dispatch system is an issue you don't want to have half a dozen distracting screens to find a cab there. boy, a lot of stuff to talk about here. regarding the transit lanes good luck on the enforcement on that uber and lyft particularly uber will not comply uber will pay the fines and it will be a trivial expense for them and they will dare you to do something about it is what i predict. credit cards -- i suggest it's time to review the policy from top to bottom. . credit card fees ought to be baked into the gates. >> thank you. >> thank you. good afternoon. i feel so sorry for our taxi driver. she just get in her job only 2 months. to give her a hard time. she's been doing job just 2 months. we're looking at big picture. why we live in this country fcc, faa you don't pass faa you can't fly you don't pass fcc you can't do radio cal

citywide ap in the industry and then they can augment it and the next thing i want to say director heinicke again pointed out it's it's the supply of interested buyers for the medallion i think it's a little bit of a false indicator as to whether or not the industry is healthy and i don't mean to stereotype but for example if a young immigrant driver comes into the industry as a new as a new driver he has to buy a medallion so as long as the amount of extra money whether he leases to a cab company is an offset can be below 11 $1,100 a month it would be a wise decision he will engineer himself a quarter of a million dollars so again my earlier speech it would make the sales program much more robust if you would make it attract ive you will make a lot more money as an agency a medallion is not worth fifty $50,000 unless someone buys it. there's a case pending in front of the california supreme court challenging michael's 's pv's decision the nature of an ap dispatch call is prearranged in nature as opposed to being on demand that determines the jurisdiction so if our side prevails in this arg

in those red lanes that's all i have directors anything else you would like to bring up director heinicke? >> thank you let me just start by complimenting the industry. it's not lost on us that this is a tough time for you all and and i think it's important to say that. today you know, certainly more than we have in the past and maybe for the first time we as board members heard sobriety accept ance and even a little bit of optimism about the current situation it's good to hear that i think some of you said these tnc's are here to stay and there's sort of two fronts going on and you are pushed back against them and one is this effort towards regulatory alignment and that's going on and as mr. gruberg said a lot of that is out of our hands and a lot of it is competitive alignment and let me start with a mandate that all -- i didn't mean to force you to take responsibility for this i was one of the proponents i thought that the private ap sector could fill the void and seems that they have come close and i'd like now to have a regulation coming from this board board to the industry soon bef

wise pound foolish thing to put a high transfer fee on the drivers and i think the the director heinicke has gotten a lot of credit but right now the young drivers can put a pink mustache on their personal car and they know they don't have adequate insurance and they can make a lot of money so you need a system the industry needs to boost and it's something under your control so i hope you will ask staff. thank you. >> thank you. >> mary maguire. >> she's the last person interested in addressing. >> good afternoon. i'd like to address the fact that they feel now free to use our cab stands. at the ballpark we can't get near our customers because they have been solicited. and you have got pco's every where you can't get one of them to do enforcement? so am i correct -- we're paying for these cab stands are we not? and how much are these guys adding to your to your coffers? the hyatt regency and fair mont and also they now think they are eligible to use our transit lanes on third and geary and they brought this up at the puc hearings and they are requesting the legitimate use of the transit
