Think in human terms. Muni should serve everyone. No one should be traded off. Everyone is entitled to equal service. You have not done this. Everyone is a human being who rides the bus. You have not treated us as human being, youre unpopular with the city and you know it. Thank you. Next speaker. Patrick. Linda. Eva chow. Good morning, linda, i would like to endorse everything that i read in this gentlemans paper and heard. Tep did outreach a few years ago at Public Meetings i was at. I havent heard of any since. But if you see a meeting posted on the night you cant go and the other one is in hunters point, it would take you hours by bus, you dont get to do it. I have seen nothing in the newspaper. Chronicle has sketchy information, maybe i missed the examiner because sometimes theyre not in the box. Theres nothing in here. How would you expect people to get this information on off the website. I dont have a come computer and my friends dont and i have to go to the library and you get

I hear there are changes about the three and 27 and so on. Maybe theyre okay but i dont know what they are. At one point you were talking about removing the three.
