but a reporter from the west german tabloid bit peter brinkman came especially from hamburg. because i'm not in war i got a call from the west berlin mayor's office someone said i should come to berlin something was happening to us. i thought if i was going to be there i should sit in the front row i put my jacket over my seat and kept checking to make sure it was still live because i really wanted to sit right in front of the microphone i had no idea what was going to happen but everyone was hoping something would happen get over it or off the. this was perceived. only a few meters away in east germany's interior ministry get half aloud as working group had completed its job of drafting the paper on travel regulations. to spark it in this package was then brought to the party central committee it's around noon and it was given to the driver who was told to hand it straight to egg on cranes and that was a difficult situation we had to assume that those who commissioned it namely the political row would read it and check it and say this wasn't what we ordered and i was nervous

thank you, vice-chair borden as well as director brinkman, it's been great to have you at the graduations. at the most recent graduation the operator who gave a speech to his classmates shared all of the cities and countries that his classmates were from. and the list was amazing. there were at least 20 different countries. there were cities all over san francisco and all over california and all over the united states. so i continue to be really proud of the talent that we are attracting and also it was exciting to see them recognize their own diversity and how special it is. so we currently have an operator shortage of about 230 people that varies on a day-to-day basis with attendance and other trends but it is very significant. with a heavy reliance on overtime, we are still missing three to four percent of the service hours every day. in addition we estimate particularly this year because we are planning a lot of promotions, that our just break even number is 200. we have about a hundred bus operators on leave on a annual basis. most of it is retirement. we do see about a ten percent w
