Timber. Hello tom through the south beach apartments considering this started as a give away a corporate give away with whatever they wanted to do they could do the shorted monument it is obviously we need a home based system for what weve got going the waste only the streets are going to be easier if it is a week street system to tell us which one will break first, because of the extra weight i dont like the idea were adding diesel we should be reducing diesel hubs, of course, those buses should not be leafing until their full and shouldnt be waiting and shouldnt be dropping off one or two people and driving on the streets on a third of the bus open their last stop the overhead i dont think how much time i have 51 seconds a. Everyone is stepping off a bus should have a muni fast pass if they board at the bus stop or get off were taking a little bit of money and sharing it with muni thank you for that one a plan to make all the buses wheelchair assessable should be implemented immediately the buses should find a little bit of hubs we dont need the they should be able to board muni aprons waiting going their direction within the city especially they your honor, return to San Francisco thank you for your time.
