i said "yes, the buses were all scheduled to be produced in 2013 and that new flyer was sending them to the bay area. they were sending them to alameda to a company ccw which they made arrangement to do work on the buses and part of that was their own decision that as they produced buses they had to move them -- i think for nothing more than space limitations at the plant in minnesota, so the buses were -- some were some buss in the bay area prior to the notice to proceed but they were not in our possession. they were not our buses and it gets to the point, so it may seem like a fine point, but i appreciate the opportunity to explain it. on the rt question on 8711 part of all of the procurements and the 62 and the 50 it's our practice to have the buses driven by the plant. it is almost 2,000 miles or around 2,000-miles and that give us us an opportunity to debug or break in the buses and 10% of 50 is five so five buses broke down in route on the way to san francisco. my personal preference is that it's better than they break down there and not after we have them in service and reveal

part of the problem is there has been a lot of give and take if you will between us and new flyer at accepting points on various points and whether something and we have given them notice that some of the things they have produced in the bus are not working out the way we want and given them a directive to fix it. in some cases if it occurs in a certain number of buses then it qualifies as a fleet defect and they need to address it that fashion. >> anything back to the 62 buses were that purchased and some allison and some bae how were they delivered? were they delivered in the same fashion as the 50 buss? >> they were driven by the plant in minnesota, yes. >> do you have a record of any of the buses broke down? >> they did -- i think four broke down. >> were they bae? allison? >> i would have to go back and check. i honestly don't remember. i have to get back to you on that one. i don't remember. >> i would certainly like to know that if you purchased 62 buses, two different types of engines and i want to know which ones broke down before i purchased anything else. >> if you will in

-- i think in the process here in terms of accepting a particular bus we would go through and new flyer is responsible to make repairs until we accept it so part of what we do when the bus is turned over to sf mta on the property is develop a punch list which is a list of components or failures that we go through them and all of them have to be corrected and signed off and inspected before we inspect the bus so we know not only on the individual buses but on the data and have a record of all of the problems the buses incurred. there was a number of things whether they related to software or some mechanical problem that were discovered while the buses were in route and we will have the records to maintain the bus. >> but do you have to accept the bus before you do that? >> i'm sorry? >> do you have to accept the bus before you get the records? >> no. we don't have to accept it. part of the problem is there has been a lot of give and take if you will between us and new flyer at accepting points on various points and whether something and we have given them notice that some of the things t
