My name is Ganeshari, and good afternoon, Sergei.
3:16:43
I'm not joking right now.
3:16:46
Earlier panels says that the bus takes A hour and a half from Farrakawi to Jamaica Center.
3:16:53
I've been driving for 18 years, the same route, the same line.
3:16:57
I does that in 55 minutes.
3:17:00
That's the local one.
3:17:01
If we do the limited, it's 45 minutes, so I don't know where he gets his facts from.
3:17:06
But they are so dangerous audio.
3:17:10
These relevant, to be honest with you.
3:17:12
I wish your kids never traveled them behind.
3:17:15
But they are really, really ridiculous out there.
3:17:18
And I don't know if they're licensed.
3:17:20
They're not licensed, but there's a whole store.
3:17:22
Someone mentioned 35 buses or 35 license.
3:17:27
There's more than even that on wheel line alone.
3:17:30
So I don't know where some something misses somewhere, and they are not trained properly.
3:17:35
Maybe they should get some kind of training to put it on again.
