I rode the ecar, which was a streetcar the size of the cable care. Im a native and i ride the no. 3. I ride the no. 3 from one terminus to the other terminus. From walnut and california to bart or muni. And the california street doesnt do that. It doesnt stop at a connection. You have to walk a couple of blocks. And during the winter, during rain, and all of that kind weather, but i have also rode the cable car when it went all the way to presidio, the california cable car. Thank you thank you sir.

Very simple put there are elements of the transit effectiveness project that need to be reevaluated before implementation. There are two elements that many believe are flawed.

Population, a disabled population, that i have heard from and spent countless Community Meetings already on this topic since this idea was floated about last year. And i think as important for me, many students and staff that are part of the schools that are in that surrounding area, there are nine schools in that very close vicinity within the three jacks and they heavily dependent upon that line to serve the schools and educate our children. Several of the schools i know have written letters to you, to the mta board as i have about the elimination of the 3 jacks line. And i hope you consider that as part of your deliberations. I will tell you that my office has been engaged and i will commit to continue to engage and outreach with the neighborhoods of district 2 and i am offering here to help engage in the community as i have done so far. I know sfmta staff has done it to some degree, but as proposeded today with elimination of the 3 jacks line, the neighborhoods have not been listen
Transitdependent person you still count on muni for specific thing, Reliable Service that allows you to get to work on time of and service that you can take to the doctor in a comfortable setting or a comfortable atmosphere. So what have we done or how are we trying to deliver such a system . We have delivered two major types of projects. One is our projects that are based on our major corridors, our highest ridership corridors. These are corridors that serve as the back [pwoefpbt ] system. Lines like the 14 mission and 5 fulton and 28 19th avenue and these lines basically accomplish 60 of our entire system. There are ten specific lines that were addressing currently in the tep. And through this Community Process over the last six years we have identified projects and proposals that we think will reduce travel time in these corridors by up to 20 . You know what does 20 mean . It sounds like a random number and to put it in prospective, i want to talk about the 5l project and related to

Getting from point a to point b is the supposed time savings for the individual transit rider or for the muni vehicle . At appears that the proposal are for the vehicle to get to point a to point b at the sacrifice of the passenger to get from starting point a to their final destination point b. Elimination of stops. This means that the individual rider will have to walk a greater destination and the time it takes to walk from the discontinued stop this does not help the individual getting from point a to point b and this certainly hinders the elderly, the disabled and parents with small children by eliminating stops. One of the best features of muni it has convenient stops for its ridership, but yet, that seems to be in jeopardy. Please note it will still take the same amount of time for a passenger to board and

One of the best features of muni it has convenient stops for its ridership, but yet, that seems to be in jeopardy. Please note it will still take the same amount of time for a passenger to board and disembark a vehicle whether its at one stop or another. So its not a major savings by eliminating stops. The other element, stoping to pick up passengers and blocking lanes. Every time a bus stops it blocks a traffic lane and that will
