      Good catch lol. I’m trying to picture a 2600 passenger bus. That’s more than any train I’ve ever been on. It would have to be the size of an ocean liner.

        I am assuming they are adding multiple trips a day. My old bus dropped off elementary, middle, and high school. Some drivers even did after school drop offs. I doubt they mean 2600 buses moving 7 million people in 1 trip.
