We're higher than the rail, the tram and all them put together.
So it speaks for itself with regards to the mode of operation which we use.
And look, you will get a little bit of what we'll say about the universities in particular.
Most of them are on a particular bus connect spine with very, very high frequency.
So if you do miss a bus and it's full, generally there's one four or five minutes later, which you will be able to pick up.
So we've done a lot of work on that.
Again, going back to what I said earlier, we do meet the NTA on a two weekly basis to look at capacity constraints across the network and where we feel it's needed and we can resource it.
We tend to address those issues.
I drive an electric car myself, so I know the type of torque that's there.
The interesting thing about our electric buses, we've dialed down the torque on them to be the same as the diesel bus.
So whilst you might get a sensation that you've got instant torque, of course you do.
But at the same time, it's actually being dialed down to be similar to what you would get on the diesel buses.
But we wouldn't, that complaint that we've had there, we wouldn't see too often.
And tell me about the electric bus fleet.
How far are you in the rollout?
Yeah, so we have 140 electric vehicles in our fleet at the moment.
So the last time I spoke to you, we had about 100.
