Tet stands for trashing elderly people period and it also stands for tormenting every passenger next speaker, please. Michael barrette followed by bob allen. Yes, i wanted to comment on item 12 that has been covered. Number one, i think its great that the mayor is the Transportation Task force was put together but its people fighting for the mighte dollar. What the recommendations were was pretty good and on the last part of their recommendation, there were 3 billion listed for allocations for fleet replace enhancement which is much off the mark.

Whether it is going to doctors appointment, buying groceries or going to community events, Public Transit affectses these important parts of our lives and with the increasing high cost of living in San Francisco, it is pushing seniors who are already living in poverty to make extremely hard choitions.

We are in an affordability crisis right now. Were asking you today to make a decision that would greatly alleviate the financial struggles many of us are facing.
