And I would just add, we're seeing great numbers with express buses, not only coming in from Brooklyn, Queens, coming through the tunnels.
1:44:37
So they're picking up a lot in the tunnels.
1:44:40
There's just lower numbers there.
1:44:42
Also from Staten Island, we have buses that go through New Jersey.
1:44:46
So we know that those buses are picking up a lot of speed.
1:44:49
So we think New Jersey Transit is probably experiencing the same thing.
1:44:53
And again, not your issue, but like even Rocklin and Orange, we're hearing from the bus coach operators and they're saying, yeah, buses are moving quickly.
1:45:02
They're actually getting more customers and people are happy.
