4-9-5-2-4-9. It's a bus station on Portage Road. Either bus 1807 or 1907 has a sign illuminated that says call 911[1]. I'm unsure if they're just testing the light. An NFTA[2] bus station. All right. Okay. We're making outreach with the MTA to see if they're tracking anything with these buses. So please call 911. Call them now. Call one. Both phone up. Yeah. Thanks. 4907 4907 4907. I'm out with the bus supervisor; everything's done for now. They're looking into it.
