i'm talking about mta, i'm talking about san francisco transportation authority. the same people have been in the same place doing nothing at all. and i can say this because i have been monitoring all these issues for the last 40 years. four and zero. we have spent a lot of money on the transbay and we never expected the pandemic to come. it's going to be with us for another five years. the delta variant and lambda variant are just the beginning and tip of the iceberg. we know the only way we can curtail the pandemic is by taking the vaccinations. we have done pretty good in san francisco. as we know in the country -- is somebody interrupting me? >> your time has expired. >> you should have a signal to give me a 15 seconds before i can wrap up. can you give me 15 seconds to wrap up? >> speaker, if you can wrap up in five seconds, that would be great. thank you. >> okay. i said what i could. but i will be addressing this issue on my blog. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> i will call the next item. item 6 is the cac update and cac chair will address you on this

the citizens advisory committee to the mta. it was never brought out there or else it may or may not have been .i don't know. i'd like to see my comments that as of yesterday i went up on the first block on one side, therewere seven vehicles double parked because 1, they couldn't get intothe shared spaces . they were either going into the restaurants , those were the thingsthat were open and they were all double parked . today on the 200 block or 300 block of west portal there were six cars double parked. in both cases as i walked by then, nobody was in the car they were either in the business, in the restaurant or whatever. so i think part of the consideration should be how many spaces areavailable , the shared spaces have been shared like restaurant spaces have takenup a lot of spaces . this has become a bigger problem than just the charge for the space. i thinkthat should be part of your resolution . what spaces are available for vehicles going back and forth and are they actually checking the metersare those meters being pa

my first major plan of action was developed the mta. the metro transfer -- metro transit authority is a city municipality. i was in five different counties and literally 78 cities in town. those challenges were meant and we had subways and commuter rail and we had trolleys. i had a lot of fun. i brought a couple of people on board like al sweeney the lifelong friend. and blending the police department as you know is like something old and something new with new ideas and something borrowed barring people from previous experiences something old something new something borrowed and something blue. the excitement of coming into a new organization and really getting too stirred up. there was that excitement is building. we have the crime down and we have phenomenal people to work with and based on that governor mike asked me to take over the metropolitan district acquires arabization that police parks rivers and many of its highways and it was scandal plagued. it's -- and might predecessor was serving time in state prison. there was incredi

here in new york, governor cuomo is talking about the mta, saying workers will need to be vaccinated tested weekly. he's also talking about how the latest cdc guidelines unmasking are quite difficult to interpret. want to get more on the latest from max nisen, bloomberg opinion columnist joining us. confusion, that may be a good way in terms of what governor cuomo is talking about. where are we in terms of mask mandates here in the u.s.? max: i would say that there is some degree of confusion with the cdc advising after previously saying that vaccinated people don't generally need to wear masks, now saying that in places where there is high spread, you do. at the moment, given the delta outbreak, that's many parts of the country. it does create confusion in the sense that you are giving what feels like a mixed message about do these vaccines actually protect me. the answer is absolutely yes. what has changed, and this is sort of a difficult nuance to make, is our understanding about the risk of transmitting to others. still almost certainly lower for vaccinated people because of the

governor cuomo is saying if you work at mta, you either have to have a clean test or get vaccinationsbut you have mayor de blasio saying we can't regulate that everyone wears mask, but you kind of should. it is very confusing on the ground. guy: and that confusion is obviously hugely problematic, and joining the dots is really important at this stage. here in london, the mayor has said very clearly you are on the london underground, when you are on transport for london, you need to be wearing a mask. i get off my train, which brings me into central london. there is now no longer a requirement for me to wear a mask on that train, though just anecdotally, this morning everybody was. you get on the underground, and it is mandated. so clarity is important here, and even that gap between transport for london and the rail services, that can cause confusion. i think this is where we need some consistency across the board. you can certainly see that in the united, that consistency is going to be required in terms of both within the states and between the states. alix: i thing this goes to bot

going forward, starting on labor day, anyone who works for the mta, which handles all of the public transport for new york city and state and as well as the port authority will be required to be vaccinated or at the very least submit to weekly tests. in addition to that, the governor coming out today and really trying to encourage businesses to go with a vaccine only admission going forward. he said this should apply to restaurants, it should apply to bars, it should apply to gyms and grocery stores. and he used radio city music hall as an example which as you know has gone to a vaccine only admission type of policy and they've been very successful so far. >> private businesses, i am asking them, and suggesting to them, go to vaccine-only admission. go to vaccine-only admission. we did this. radio city music hall months ago reopened, vaccine only. sold out all of the shows. sports arenas, they went up to about 90% vaccine only. private businesses, bars, restaurants, go to a vaccine-only admission. i believe it is in your best business interest. >> reporter: now the governor went on to say tha
