On the vehicle. We have been working now with two generations of Union Leadership to improve these vehicles. And we try to address concerns and some of the improvements that we have already made.

That we are improving in phase one into a greater replacement vehicle. We talked at many of these meetings. And i believe they are on their last breath and do pose a significant risk as they become older, just the ability to get parts alone is becoming increasingly challenging. That being said, we will not even contemplate until we know we have a vehicle that San Francisco deserves. To that end, we have been working for several months with the manufacturer on these improvements, and they are essentially in three buckets. Improvements that have been identified by operators to get people who are closest to the equipment and using it day in and day out. Issues identified by our mechanics, as well as the issues identified by our passengers, which largely focus on deceiving design, which we have committed to providing additional forward facing seats, lowering the seat height, and increasing the opportunity to increase the onboard and health system. As we have discussed in previous meetings,
