What I mean is that it is not their job. It is their job to drive the bus and to comply with all the regulations relative to that. We talked separately in the committee about how various forms of public transport differ greatly. If someone gets on the DART, there may be nobody there and the person will be well separated from the driver, who is in a different capsule. I am very conscious of bus drivers, given that even with the shielding that is there, it is a much more connected interaction. I know it is not the driver's job to enforce that, but he or she will also be much more connected to the passengers than on other forms of public transport.
