▶ 22:07 Shawn M. MacMaster: chairman thank you sir for being here this evening um just so that i understand it correctly the public will not have the opportunity to call you directly you're going to be dispatched by a ride sharing service to go directly to pick somebody up at the airport or to drop someone

▶ 22:24 Speaker 4: off at the airport is that correct um so so most the time like i'm working with the with the app so whenever i have uh like if i want to go to the airport i am and then i will receive a request like people they request uber drivers so for me to to go to the airport i have to have the the massport sticker because there is an area so without a massport sticker you can't pick up

▶ 22:50 John N. Tramontozzi: people from there thank you yeah i think i think if i could have just a little doubt is i think the way it works is at the uber and the other company um thank you um you could call in and get a ride to the airport uh without the the need for a livery license however you cannot transport from the airport out of the airport because massport requires all livery and cabs to have the proper license i think that's the way it works it's coming out of the airport that's the problem it's not so much going into the airport is that is that right yeah because also

▶ 23:26 Speaker 4: airport it's okay but in order to to pick up people from the airport you have to have the mass port sticker and livery plates right because uh something happened you're going to be responsible for them you know what i mean right because you have to have those documents

▶ 23:41 John N. Tramontozzi: right the drivers are all corralled and yeah sections even uber and lyft drivers as well cabs thank you we do have a motion to recommend on the floor any further discussion seeing none on the motion all in favor aye any opposed seeing none so this we have recommended for passage your application to the full board this will be passed on to the full board for final vote you do not have to appear here again and we'll let you know thank you thank you so much thank you motion
