showing here is the average cost per boarding for each person who is boarding a vehicle operated by sf mta costs have been going up and going up slightly. part of this reason is the past year they have been hiring additional staff. the salaries and benefit costs have been increasing and they have been doing more maintenance. here we will probably see more changes. you know recently we have been having some big investments, the bond that just passed in the fall that will make a big improvement in the transportation system. i know this was presented to this committee earlier this year, we did one of our benchmarking quarterly reports on the sf mta and compared to the cost per boarding that i just showed for this year, this shows how we compare to peers. it's the operating cost per serving each person who boards a vehicle. as you can see we are comparing favorable to peers in the middle or a little bit lower. i'm sure our numbers are changing this year but other jurisdictions could be changing this year. the second piece of transportation public works is public works. so as you know in 2011 w

however, the sf mta has unwittingly created an ecosystem whereby people are living off the system. instead of paying into the system. the law must protect the constitution. [inaudible] citations issued to passengers for [inaudible] issued by security guards to be [inaudible] and a moratorium for this practice should be set forth. they passengers should be extended the privilege of paying their fair or getting off the bus if they are not unable to pay. the san francisco smt eight must be made aware of the following: only a sworn peace officer can sign off on a ticket on the california penal code section 831, 832. when the passengers apprehended for a sex offense is over identification should be taken prior to placement in detention. unfortunately, some security guards in our society in general are racist and carry out their duty with a bias against a special group of ethnicity. this is not the 1900s. when blacks were mistreated in order to sit in the back of the bus. this is not montgomery alabama. thank you that much >> thank you. next her, please >> well, good afternoon, good even
