i will work hard. >> $32 million to rebuild seven lrv's over six years. what does anyone cost? >> it depends on how many you are buying at the time. >> like a blue light discount? >> you got it. >> what about seven new ones at one time? >> over 5 million apiece. recently a contract was awarded in minneapolis for roughly 41 vehicles and some extra, coming out to just that, 4 million vehicles. it goes to your comparison, seven vehicles were needed for repair. three of them were getting repairs under this contract. staff was left with taking a look at the four remaining vehicles, trying to figure out if it would be worth a competitive approach, plus the value that we owe the fda, as we did not advertise for a fully. staff came to the conclusion that there was no way we could put a contract out for such a small number of vehicles, changing of price and value. >> i am comforted to hear that this was all a lot of and does not surprise me, but i always had it in my head that seven of them would prepare for 32 million. but by that variable it would not matter if you use the lower 4 mil

the variability in the service hours delivered seems to be much greater for lrv than the other modes of transportation, what is the reason? >> what page are you on? >> just look at page 2. you can see that the brown line, which is for light rail, has a greater variability. i wondered why there was more variability in the service hours for the light rail as opposed to other modes. and >> let me see this again. the short answer is that it is the current availability. further also in the transfer of the other key variables in on- time performance, being both the availability and reliability. one of the things that you will hear later on is that some of the programs in place to provide some relief, if you will, in terms of overhauls, a key components over the last several months there have been challenges to meet in the car account. with the restoration of service through september, we agreed to schedule 114 cars. we would have liked to schedule more, but we had to balance out the competence level that we had. and the variability, if you will, there are several things that we are doing t

our injury rates per million miles or our,lrvs is 2 point 8 pedestrian coalitions per million miles traveled. the vintage street cars have a higher rate, 9 point 8 pedestrian coalitions per million miles. motor coach? 1 point 9 per million miles. trolley, 2 point 4 per million miles. and cable car, these are 2007 numbers. 6 point 4 per million miles. well two things i point out and i know it's difficult to memorize the numbers but the two things that come out of these numbers is that the vintage street cars have the highest rate of pedestrian coalitio col follow i'd cable car. because if you look at 2005 the rate was actually 0 because we had no pedestrian collisions in 2005 a very good year. in 06 that bumped up to 2 point 3 pedestrian collisions per million miles traveled and one with a cable car and then in 2007 the rate climbs to 6 point 4 but that's indicative of 3 pedestrian collisions with cable cars in 2007. so, what this is saying is our rail vehicles traveling on the city have the higher rate as collisions as compared to our rubber tired vehicles. i'd also like to point out that ou
