Annual operation costs: $9.8 million/ yr
Need to sell additional 7000 tickets per day to pay for staff presence

I don't know.... $10MM is kind of chump change isn't it.... we had no issue dolling out $100MM + an additional $168MM in loans to turn 20% of the bus fleet to electric.
It's not an impossible problem to solve, we just need to figure out what our priorities are.
