Can you enlighten the panel in terms of what are the consequences that the commuter vans are faced with when they, you know, disobey the the traffic laws?

When when the when the licensed commuter van disobeyed a traffic law, then if we run the speed speed and it still go to the TLC, they still bring the drivers and still charge the drivers also.

And if they run the lights, you still gotta go to the TLC, the Vision Zero also too.

And if they do what the gentleman is saying, they can lose their commercial driver's license because we do carry commercial driver's license, and it affected article 19 a and their medical officer too.

So what the gentleman is saying commuter vans are licensed in New York City and Across New York City.

And that's what we're doing now.
