And then on top of that, on Xerxes at 44th, there was an added detour just today, a couple hours ago, four stuck buses in the hill area where buses are being stuck.

So you guys are detouring around that as well.
00:13
Okay, y'all, that's the one I did because I didn't see the bus stuck, so I took the right.

I think it was 43rd or something like that.
00:21
But yeah, that's the first.
00:24

Has had problems.

Multiple operators have had problems with that little hill on Xerxes to 44th, so we have that extra detour in there to avoid that hill area until Minneapolis can solve that area.
