So we have constant communication with the MTA.
1:19:06
I think it's one of the unique things in the New York City Police Department.
1:19:09
It doesn't happen anywhere else.
1:19:10
We have a direct line in.
1:19:11
As far as, you know, contacting conductors directly, I would have to get back to you on that.
1:19:16
But we do have direct contact with the MTA through rail control, and we can work very closely with them as it addresses any public safety issue.
1:19:26
But I have to get back to you further about us to contact the conductors directly.
