00:00:01.120 - 00:00:14.790

I think implied in that motion was first that we're going to move out with ferryboats first and that's gonna be the primary or backbone of the system and then we will develop a feeder bus system to the ferry terminal and those people that have to get

00:00:14.790 - 00:00:28.500

to SAN Francisco in places that can't be serviced by the ferry will be taken on long haul busses that's implied within the motion that we passed. You say it's implied it's not stated the motion, there's nothing in the motion about busses, it's all about ferries. Well,

00:00:28.500 - 00:00:45.550

the motion really deals with first priority position with the mode of transit and the first priority is ferryboats thereafter. Everything else builds to that mode because we feel and I think rightly so that most of the people in the bay area now are most anxious to

00:00:45.550 - 00:01:04.740

get underway with a water transit mode. We're sick and tired of all the trucks, busses, automobiles, the air pollution and the congestion on the freeways. Nature has given us a freeway right on the water and we want to take advantage of it. The number of people

00:01:04.750 - 00:01:21.780

that will use the ferry will be determined by how fast you make. The, the faster they are, the more people are going to have you, you gotta be determined by while we brought some data with us and are prepared to answer questions. I certainly don't think

00:01:22.350 - 00:01:46.830

at the time. Well, I voted reluctantly No, because I have always been and always will be for ferry, especially for submarine. But along with that we have to have a good integrated bus system which every study ever made. So it is necessary that people novato SAn

00:01:46.830 - 00:02:02.690

Anselmo, the Rose Valley do not and cannot all go by ferry and we have to have both modes in an organized way and so to push and bulldoze virtually this motion through ferries only. I regarded as just using political muscle of SAn Francisco, I'm trying to

00:02:02.690 - 00:02:17.260

solve a problem which is our marine commuters problem in which we have in effect have very little effect and saying to solve, we sympathize with San Francisco's problem of having extra vehicles in the streets, but 1/10 of 1% only would be in the busses and this

00:02:17.260 - 00:02:29.420

is much better than floods of Marin County people in cars. We want the ferries, but we want the busses and we want to work with them. But this way the now leads and our wishes will just not listen to it all. And in effect this pushing

00:02:29.420 - 00:02:55.230

for the ferries only was there really a slap in the face in the marin county interest and I feel in regional cooperation while all the SAN Francisco directors insist that their actions today does not exclude the possibility of bigger and better busses from Rin commuters. The

00:02:55.230 - 00:03:12.010

fact is not one of them spoke in favor of allowing more busses into the city. In fact most of them spoke against the idea and since SAN Francisco controls half the directors, they call the tomb, which may or may not be good for the marin residents.
