[ applause ] >> thank you, so, what is muni mobile? right now we basically have two ways for people to pay for their fare on muni. we have cash and the clipper card. the clipper card has been a wonderful benefit for our riders and used well by our more frequent riders. it's a card that stores cash and passes. a very easy way to pay and nearly half of the people who ride muni now, nearly half of the trips are paid for with a clipper card. so it's really been, when the people who use it love it and it's been a great advance for regular muni riders. that said, we still have about half of the riders who are still paying cash. these are folks who are fumbling for change and dollar bills when they get on the bus
