Callsl get to your phone we thoughts in a minute, but have someone joining us on the phone. Everybody has known the numbers since yesterday afternoon and lots to say about them, but lets begin first with what the white house had to say when they released these numbers. [video clip] are you there . Guest hi. The white house was trying to downplay expectations about these numbers. Everyone knew that they would be poor, and yesterday, president obama did not have anything direct to say about them, but the administration was upbeat. They said the people are online and shopping in the marketplace. They predicted that enrollment would ramp up over time, which is what we have seen in other programs like Medicare Part d come and the
Falling more than expected, that is good news. The first time in three weeks, we will take it. The vix is down. The fear in the marketplace is down 12 in the month of december. And i twitter again because thik is on such fantastic and phenomenal run. You asked me a couple of minutes ago why isstwitter going up so much . An analyst said earlier this week investors are betting aggressively on twitter being the next great Media Technology platform. Back to you. Adam Lauren Simonetti, thank you for answering that question. Cheryl there you go. Christmas is coming late for millions of people who are depending on ups and fedex. Bad weather come overwhelming volume being lamed, but once the in time for christmas guys for these companies, Liz Macdonald has the bottom line. Interesting story. Ups is saying all personnel are working hard to make deliveries, really is the air delivery packages exceeded their capacity to make those deliveries ontime. They do apologize nearly all the packages will
Transportation authority and their plan and the red line signify over capacity, so in some of those instances, the buses go by and they dont stop because there is no room and in other instances, there just isnt enough of them there. Many, many more people than there is available throughout to meet that need, but i can get back to you as to exactly the metric that the Transportation Authority has been using. I regularly been seeing them pass me back. That seems a little off. So things like that, i think it would be good to get an idea. The other thing im wondering with respect to page 5, i think that its interesting that youve got bicycle racks charted out which is 3,060 bicycle racks, but where do the bus shelters fit into this. Theres so many places where bus shelt ters are needed and its a key part of our infrastructure to help people be comfortable while waiting for buses, particularly in places where we have pretty high volumes, theres a few spots throughout the city that could use
That and to demonstrate how you looked at that time and then to address the concerns that have been raised. Two examples of the concerns that kind of pop up for me in your presentation was a lack of clarity as to how you came up with the idea of what was over crowded or not. From my experience on this, this map that youve got here on fly 10, theres so much more over crowding from my experience. Id love to understand miami theres over crowding and theres a matrix or definition that you all have that i would hope that you could articulate. Then we can get more into frequency and span and things of that nature, but this is one that jumps out because theres a slide here. The slides came from the Transportation Authority and their plan and the red line signify over capacity, so in some of those instances, the buses go by and they dont stop because there is no room and in other instances, there just isnt enough of them there. Many, many more people than there is available throughout to meet
Made whole even though the car tax was cut. Okay. Thank you. Other members of the board. Councilmemeber ramos. I appreciate the update and i wish we could have had more of that and i wish i cad i wish i was apart of that task force. People are looking at this from an equity prospect and they want to know to get any kind of support that could demonstrate thats was an equity lens put over this so we can work toward like what you said earlier, restoring service or expanding service and what has been lost and i understand wholly that even if we throw money at service and operations right now, it would burn up because of the lack of the course system, the functionality and what have you. I want to make sure that there is an intent to explain that and to demonstrate how you looked at that time and then to address the concerns that have been raised. Two examples of the concerns that kind of pop up for me in your presentation was a lack of clarity as to how you came up with the idea of what wa
