Charter buses.

Where do you envision the charter buses dropping off and picking up passengers in your plan?
1:01:02
You must know that answer.
1:01:06
Like where are you dropping off and picking up people in buses?

That's another thing that's specifically addressed in the EIS and we'd be happy to provide a response in writing.

We did look at the bus traffic from this site.
1:01:15
There wasn't a ton generated based on the EIS assumptions.
1:01:18
But we did evaluate that and we had a couple of drop off points, one off Eleventh Avenue.
1:01:24
And again, there wasn't a significant impact to the traffic.

It is not really the business plan of when to have significant charter bus traffic as part of their business operations.
