ms. boom perp -- boomer. >> clerk: you have one person mr. whiner. >> welcome back. >> herbert whiner. one problem i've noticed in the subway the muni metro and i'd like to see this addressed is on the weekend at 6:00 there's a lack of service where you have crowded coaches. there's only one coach and many people are squeezing in to that. notably the "m." i think this should also be addressed. it's not only the gaps in service but the accommodation of passengers. this applies to the "j" line also. so i think this is something that could be focussed on as well. also, in rect to the trolly service, the one california line last week was very terrible because people were waiting for the 1 california. there were two switchbacks. then people finally got their bus but we waited for a very long period and people other than myself are quite angry over this. so this is something that really has to be focussed on because the 1 california is one of your showpiece lines. it's one of the lines you focus on. these are concerns i have and other people have. that's my comment on the report. >> thank yo

ms. boomer. i believe the items to the extent they are rv banned not on the consent calendar i may be not remembering that. not to single her out but if our vice chair is going to vote no as a matter of course, which is completely fine, i don't think they should being on the consent calendar. maybe the course for that is if it's close to the line and want to check with vice chair about the meeting that's fine. i don't want board members missing things on consent calendar. it should be for things staff has no reason to believe anyone would vote no on. that brings us to the agenda. back to the regular agenda to item 11. >> clerk: mr. chairman, item 11, presentation and discussion regarding rail service. >> there's no seat there but if it were it'd be warm. thank you for braving this and coming down today. >> take it easy on me. >> thank you, good afternoon, julie kirshbaum, acting director of transit. i'm here to have an honest and frank discussion on the subway performance. the subway is the backb

ms. boomer. >> clerk: it looks like the individual has left and it doesn't look like everybody in the audience is making moves forward. >> commissioner: is there anybody that would like to comment publicly. seeing none, we'll close public comment. >> i failed to note a couple important points in thinking further. one is that it would be my intention that whatever the amount is we need in order to issue the notice to proceed for the rail manufacturer to proceed on this accelerated path if the $19.3 of the supplementally added revenue and we would look elsewhere and reprioritize elsewhere within our capital program. there are trade-offs here. i want to be very transparent about that. we don't know what the final number would be. we think it probably will be more than $19.3 we'll need to execute the notice to proceed and will need it make other tradeoffs but the change and not having all the revenue available comes with trade-offs but i wanted to assure you as i said the acceleration of this vehicle procurement is the single most thing we can do to improve rail service so it's my intention to mov
