Mr. Chairman, it's an interesting idea. I am not sure what the technology would cost us to be able to do that. It could probably, at best, be done only from the south side because on the north side, there are too many other alternatives, that people may not be going to the ferry. They may be going somewhere else and we would never know. The cycle time for the ferry is about 20 minutes. It is on demand and we try to keep it going about every 20 minutes. We could look at the cost of doing it and see how it would work, mainly on the south side. We have to look at what the technology would be and hope that every vehicle that trips the signal, whatever it would be, would continue on to the ferry and not stop to have a picnic someplace and us sitting there waiting. We can look into it, Mr. Chairman.
