Thank you so much for being here. And let me just say that first of all that we have about 40 cards but i wanted to first ask if chris dolan who is the attorney for the lou family could come up and speak first and then i will be asking janice who is a leader in the disabled community to also come up but mr. Chair could we open the Public Comment at this point and i am going to be letting these two speakers come up and there is also steven from the sffederal credit union as well. We are going to be asking people through the chair to limit their comments to one minute, per person. And i am sorry that we have to do that because we have a number of other items on the ago agenda. So is there dolan here . Right. And again, condolences to the lou family. Thank you for holding this hearing and on behalf of the lou family i have been asked to come here and say please keep our streets safe, this child died unnecessarily because of the use of an application in the provision of Uber Services and u
Everyone and you have heard that there are three areas and i think is safety, and the liability and the insurance that we talked about and congestion. And these are all things that should be and i think that obviously are from your remarks, or concerns of the city, and i hope that this will carry forth after today that things change and we want to keep this taxi company viable and we are not afraid of competition but we need a little Playing Field and that we have direly need your support, thank you very much. Thank you. John hann, dave snyder, tony slay, seth berm an, david smith, walter durly and david barlow. I am a yellow cab driver and i have been driving in the city for 18 years and i waited to get a free med dallon for 16 years and the city did decide to sell it for 250,000. And i borrowed money from all over to get this down payment to pay it for the federal credit bank and then unfortunately, you know, our business is not really protected from the city.

Yeah, thanks for holding the meeting what i am here just now to response of the puc lady in which she said that we have been waiting for 25 years to implement the regulation, and the speaker, and now she has the courage to stand here, and to say that we will look at the regulations she is not. But if we have to wait and we have 25 years, for that, no, it is that 30, and it is within your authority to implement the regulation and not the state. What she sees in the book she does not go in the state and see how much, and how many cabs, and okay . And the same, same driver, in the driving taxi and the driving for x, okay . And the lower inaudible ten hours, because i said, that inaudible and it starts and at 8 00 in the morning and they go, to ten at night and so that it is 18 hours or 19 hours a day and then you figure out how safe that is. And thank you. Supervisors, jim galespie general manager of yellow cab cooperative and i am encouraged by this hearing and we need the help of staoet
I appreciate you can here and listening to the communities in San Francisco. I appreciate the approach to all of this, but one thing that i am nervous about is the selfregulations of the people reporting and i know that there are other examples of other industry where they might do someself reporting, but i also know that often times, the responsible organization, or agency that is collecting the data may do audits on, you know, spot audits to be sure that we are getting the correct information, is there any plans for the puc to actually do the audits on these tncs. We are going to be doing audit and will do investigation and we will do audits and as part of our decision, the tncs have to comply with all of our requests for information and the audits that we conduct, but i agree that if we dont do the audits, it becomes a completely selfregulated industry and so we do have to do the audits to insure that the rules are put into place are being followed. Thank you. Thank you so much for
