So, in fact, in October, when we go back to full service, we'll actually be extending service hours to about one in the morning. Which fell off the least during the pandemic and were quickest to recover. We've really beefed up service in our key, our busiest corridors. So, so those are the two areas for us to be looking at in the future, but it's allowed us to pivot some of our service models. And we're seeing some public school kids are a big part of our market, and we're really only seeing them at about a third to a half of what that normal market is. I think as with most systems are the downtown office commuter who were largely still working remotely. It's not an onslaught, several significant markets that are still kind of weak. What's good about that is it's a nice, slow, steady. Approaching about 70, 72% of our prior ridership levels. So we're at about 90% of prior service levels. So that's something that's still coming back, but the city is bustling again.Īnd in terms of our system, we go back to our full service levels in October. International tourism before the pandemic was huge here. We're still waiting for, for more recovery to get more of the business meeting and certainly the international tourism market back. Our day tourist market is pretty much all the way back.
Well obviously we're sort of in the, in the ups and downs of the pandemic restoration in terms of Nashville as a city, certainly things are recovering very well. Just kind of give us a status of how things are going here in Nashville now. Paul Comfort: Well, you're looking great. Steve Bland: I, I, you can't embarrass me.
