. >> rachel hiden, herbert winer. >> i'm very excited to stand before you on behalf of my membership and board of directors and speak on behalf of the extension to two hours. as you may recall, i did come to you during the budget process and made this request. we made this request and thankfully to you, you directed staff to look into it. i know i'm sometimes critical of m.t.a.'s slow impact delivery, but i want to thank you how quickly this happened. to some people, this might seem like not that big of a deal, but to us, it really is. not only does this benefit every transit rider, but it benefits those who are coming from the outermost corners of the city who may relie on two or three buses to get to where they need to go. so thank you for your support on this today. we're very excited. >> thank you, miss hider. next speaker, please. >> clerk: herbert wiener is the last speaker to turn in a card on this subject. >> herbert wiener. i do approve the increase in transfer time because it reflects the difficulty of getting across town which is considerably different than 20 years ago. b
