I And right so you explained a little bit about how has ridership trended over the since our last 2022 hearing on the ferry is.
0:31:24
Do you happen to have I know you give us an annual percentage, but Do you know by the last 2 years if we've seen an increase?
0:31:31
I know we just have annual.
James Wong
0:31:33
It was about 8% from 22% to 23% and about between 7% and 8% from 23 24.
Amanda Farías
0:31:41
Over the fiscal year has been interesting.
James Wong
0:31:43
Yeah.
0:31:43
I think since we've served gone to the tail end of COVID, we've seen a more consistent growth rate.
Franny Civitano
0:31:49
Sorry.
0:31:50
From fiscal year 22 to 23, it's a 23% growth, and that was kind of the remnants of COVID coming out.
0:31:56
And from fiscal year 23 to 24, that's where the 7 to 8% growth happened.
