Member of the Public

Good afternoon to everyone.

Member of the Public

Thank you for giving me time to speak.

Member of the Public

What I have in my mind.

Member of the Public

The Uber company was giving false information.

Member of the Public

I have evidence against it.

Member of the Public

It deserves to be my app.

Member of the Public

Because they say they have roof.

Member of the Public

They don't have roof.

Member of the Public

They don't respect the roof.

Member of the Public

They give you time that cannot make you deliver the other fast.

Member of the Public

You have to run more speed to deliver the other before it reveals violation.

Member of the Public

Because they give you one violation, two violation, three violation, they deactivate your app.

Member of the Public

You have to find another thing to do.

Member of the Public

Oh, my app have been deactivated.

Member of the Public

Because I was not delivered the order the time they gave me to deliver the order.

Member of the Public

So Uber giving false information.

Member of the Public

So we beg the city to apologize.

Member of the Public

What is happening is not our fault.

Member of the Public
