This is Block 304, Coach 33 15, location,
00:04
Superior, and A headed downtown.
00:08
Yeah, I was just, I got a question.
00:10
This is some biological material smeared on a bus.
00:14
I'm wondering, like,
00:16
do I just need to, do I'm supposed to clean it up myself? Do I keep riding or do somebody kind of get it though? How that works?
00:25
Okay, Black 304, where is that on your coach? Where is it at?
00:31
Right where the garbage can is at,
00:35
where the arm rail, like the handrail, right when you first come into the bus, you know what I'm saying? Right by the garbage kind.
00:46
Okay, so no, that's a negative.
00:48
You shouldn't clean that up yourself.
00:50
That's biohazardage.
00:51
Do you have any passengers on your coach right now?
00:55
Hello?
00:57
No, that's a negative.
00:58
You shouldn't clean it up yourself.
01:00
Do you have any passengers aboard your coach right now?
01:05
Yes, and they're bothered.
01:08
That's why I'm seeing how I can get it up.
01:10
It's stink, too.
01:15
Okay, did...
01:17
Okay, so a passenger put it there? I'm trying to figure out how did it get there?
01:22
Like a passenger that got off, uh,
01:25
it was probably on this bag and a cigarette on the bus.
01:30
Okay, that's affirmative.
01:31
So because that's on your coach, I'm actually going to have to get you replaced if it's there, like right in the front of your coach.
01:38
I can't have you continue with that on your bus.
01:42
What's your location right now?
01:46
Yeah, I'm turning down superior right now.
01:51
Okay, so you literally just left Social Rapid Station.
01:58
Copy, all right, yeah, affirmative, affirmative.
02:02
Okay, that's affirmative.
02:04
So I can either have you from where you are,
02:08
apologize to your passengers, because you're very close to the district.
02:11
I can have you go back to the district and replace yourself,
02:15
which is what I'm probably going to have you do, because we can't have you operating a coach with that on your coach.
02:21
Take that coach.
