You know, Tom, it's an interesting point.

Rob was talking about the advances in forecasting.

The advantage of that is it allows us to do a ton of preparation and 15,000 MTA workers labored over the weekend and into today.

to make sure we could put on service.

And we were able to maintain bus and subway and Metro North and Long Island Railroad commuter service right through the storm, with delays, with imperfections, but we were able to operate, which is not always the case in the past.

And that's because of preparation.

And, you know, our concern now is we're operating a full Monday morning commute, which is amazing.

But, you know, obviously with the risk of thaw and icing, that presents new problems.

So we're moving on in how we manage the impacts of the storm, just as you suggest.

Well, the bottom line is we're operating service on all subway lines, on all bus lines.

There are some delays, partly because we have crews that live in New Jersey, and they're not able to get in because New Jersey Transit is out of business for today.

Whoa, shade there in New Jersey, a little bit across Hudson River, Shane.

No, but listen, everybody's different.

We were able to survive this storm with, as I said, 15,000 people doing a ton of work.

But the bottom line is we're running every line.

Metro North is running 550 trains today.

Long Island Railroad running 750 trains, both of them on kind of robust holiday schedules or weekend schedules.

If you're listening, MTA commuter, check your train time app or your MTA website, mta.info, for specifics.

But we're running service, and we're ready to keep that going as we go forward in the week.
