People in this room. And you are simply turning away from them, and feeding your own coffers. Just to give you a figure, i added what you have thus far gain from medallions sales, and what you expect again and leases, its over 75 million. Could be hundred million or more. Depending what you did in your future. I know this lights up some of your hearts because that is what you are after. You are taking the futures of people who have put their lives into this industry and you are turning it into your own benefit, your own profit, their own use, and the hell with them. Go ahead and do it. Well see you in court. Well see you in the ballot box. sigh i dont know what else to say. Youre living it will the other thing i will say i hate the comments on the particulars of the proposal i find odious, there is no guarantee on anything here even for those top 150. All it says is that they are entitled to return medallions. Somebody has to die or a medallion have to be revoked before they have a gua
We were instructed to not pick up anyone on the line or you will get a ticket. I had to tell a few drunk people now. If you like to go into a combat situation to service the public. We want to figure this out. Either sfpd or everyone involved, it will not have black towne cars using that road, have to have other access. We have buses with People Holding on. They stand. At the cab driver, it is frustrating. Herbert weiner. Why does muni have such a crime rate . Because it gets away with murder. [indiscernible] requires physically disabled people to walk quarter of a mile. They ignore the obvious. More buses, more drivers. They propose extravagant solutions. Mta is a bully agency the tax taxidrivers, parking meters in the physically frail. If muni passengers a lucky those taking the bus today are lucky if they are home by christmas. I had to acquaint this board with muni etiquette. When you say to someone i will see you in hell, it means i will see you in a muni bus. Chairman nolan next
Many bitter base especially since his body took over. How can you listen to the heartfelt please, the angryplease and turn them away . And you will. You are not an objective decisionmaking policy. You are group that has your own interests, that conflict with the interests of the people in this room. And you are simply turning away from them, and feeding your own coffers. Just to give you a figure, i added what you have thus far gain from medallions sales, and what you expect again and leases, its over 75 million. Could be hundred million or more.

gavel chairman nolan we are back. Good afternoon. We are back in session. Will go at this point to the agenda. Back the public comment. We have members of the public who wish to address the board . Secretary boomer yes, on matters within the jurisdiction of the board of directors but not on the agenda. Chairman nolan two minutes. Secretary boomer [indiscernible] chairman nolan mr. Malik . [sounds like] good afternoon. Honorable chairman and directors. Malik, longtime driver. Not on the agenda. Mr. Chairman, a few months ago you requested or ordered the sfmta to bring up credit card issue again. A lot of companies are charging five percent or more. Forcing the drivers to accept credit card via merchant, we pay the license fee to the city. We are independent contractors. I do now you can forces to accept credit card even though the people go to the clubs and bars. Ethey dont accept credit cards. They have to pay cash. The minimum is 21 dollars. If you go to the bar and order 6 10, you ha
This will be my third time. I would like to thank mr. Chairman for giving us this time. In 1985 when i started driving taxis, i used to live here in the city around and id take the 90 bus to go to work. The bus driver we became friends. And the metah officer, we used to take the bus at the same time too, 1988. Since 1988, the driver, the muni driver, i know is retired now. The officer i know has retired with full benefits, 40 acres [indiscernible] all i did when i signed up for the waiting list was to have my own 40 acres [indiscernible] so that i can have my time when i retired, with the time i put in. I have seen everyone here on the board, you are here to help the city, individual stakeholders. I agree with the proposal here that smpta put on, the goal is to help stakeholders. How can you help stakeholders when we have side cabs that advertise on your website, putting 1500 private cabs on the street. A all that we ask was to give everyone on the waiting list the medallion to compete
