We were pulling resources away from getting system up and running. That was the decision. I think it was the right decision to make. Staying with safety issue, there are a lot of times you get into the metro system and see very crowded platform, when youre, games, gallery plays or something like, but issues when it comes down to construction inside of the stations where only few feet between falling of the edge.
