Cars and create other issues for us. We didnt have that this time. We had that figured out. So anyway, it was, something that i think was the right thing to do from a safety standpoint for our employees and for customers. Worse, you know, worst thing we could have done have people out there, a to get them to think they could travel in a storm like that as we knew at the time. B, then have to rescue them. 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.
