driving around, and as we know are killing people and so we don t want to pay for it they should pay for it. that is first, second just one thing that i want to let you know, (inaudible) people is here and there are some medallions in the company that are not taken and the drivers not coming so when the heavy rain comes, those uberlift and side car people don t come to work, they don t like the rain they are afraid. the only people who work us. these are the taxi cabs fees, downloaded from the sfmta website. we paid thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars in fees, we are struggling, we are dying out here. and the cab business is dying out here. and if new york and new orleans and all of these other cities can shut them down, why can t we? tmc is just another name for taxi and they do exactly what we do we pick them up and we charge them and we drop them off. please don t get it confused we are not blind, you are not blind, and tnc drivers do not have this. this is
adequate runs for blacks as well as whites. we certainly know where that went. 1934, we got to the civil rights act that completely refuted that and it took us 26 years to add disabled people to that list, one would think that the puc, did not have to see what the harm was. all that they have to do is make their rules compliant with current federal law thank you. thank you so much. i am going to call a couple more names, cuterer harrison, robert fasana and richard hible., and tara houseman and bob plantle. and i am charles and on behave of the lexos cab company and neighborer to the services we have provided wheelchair for decades, we introduced taxi magic for 2008 and provided the first rides in that year, or two years before uber s first ride. and we now, participate probably in flywheels and the network of 1400 cabs, and i would like to use the rest of my time to offer words of respect to the thousands of law abiding blue collar men and women of san francisco taxi
without disclosing. if you could summarize that, because i think that is really important, continue. my recommendation to the board of supervisors first of all when i see a hummer with a pink mustache that is not green fleet, there is no disclaimers that say, if they say that all you need is personal insurance and that is not true, the department of insurance issued the statement and there needs to be a required disclaimer on the web sites. thank you. next speaker? good afternoon, my name is david smith and i am a san francisco cab driver, and the cpuc is also the same licensing organization, state, organization, and that issues the tct, which is a complete joke. and it is a phoney taxi license and never been able to control it and it has been ramped for only 20 years and now they created the tnc and how thiser going to control it, i don t know. it is a mess. but you have all of these running the fleets and charging the gates and leasing cars out like a taxi cab,
million dollar coverage. i am going to emphasize mr. dolan s points, public is going to be paying for these injuries. no doubt about it. one of these tncs could have a minimum of $15,000 of liability insurance and if he crashes himself, or hurts himself, public is going to be paying for it. mark my words. what is your name? richard hibols. thank you. my name is namshirm a and i am driving for the yellow 20 years. i am not here to praise you mta because they did so much damage to the taxi business, and you start (inaudible) and you think about the mta revenue, but they will stop over the (inaudible) how are we going to trust you? before us and we actually used to go to each taxi company (inaudible) we are going to the airport, but all for $2, this is ridiculous, before she lied, and your mta investigators are making (inaudible) to confuse (inaudible) not working (inaudible) they do not. thank you so much. want us to fight for our rights uber, they do not have full
