this is herbert weiner. now, i'm very upset about how this the mta discounts seniors and the disabled. so many decisions have been made that have adverse impact on fingers and the disabled. and you are actually blind to it and sensitive to it. and don't see the damage that you are doing and your eyes were less than human and were discountable. but when you discount us in such a way, you will forget your own humanity. and frankly, i even wonder if you even qualify for the animal kingdom. animals have more compassion than this board does at times. i'm really upset over your decision, especially the deletion of the bus stop. bus runs long walking distances to the bus. it's really unconscionable. and this word and its management may very well pay for it in the future. thank you, thank you, thank you so much for your comments. any additional speakers? no additional speakers. thank you. we will now close public comment on item nine. secretary silva, please call the next item directors that places you on item ten.

this is herbert weiner. one problem i have is the seniors and disabled are really being the stepchildren of the city. they are required to walk up to a quarter of a mile to the bus stop. and really, we get bottom priority and bicyclists, not more favors than we do. and really, there should be more equity on the part of this board. i would really like to see better treatment of seniors in the disabled, and especially since they're required to walk up to a quarter of a mile of a bus stop. we need more bus stops to accommodate us, so that should be one of the priorities. next year. thank you. thank you. no other callers. thank you. that now concludes public comment on item nine. secretary, please call the next item directors that places you on item ten your consent calendar. these items are considered to be routine and will be acted upon by a single vote, unless a member of the board or public wishes to consider an can. consider an item separately. for all speakers providing public comment, please identify whic
