Total contract amount 11,361 dollars.

Jonathan C.B.

King is here again.

Hi.

Thanks for having me.

So uh GTFS stands for general transit specification.

Uh general transit feed specifications.

Basically, if you look on Google Maps and you can see, you know, when a bus is showing up at your location, that's how.

Uh TripSpark uses technology that sends that information out uh using GTFS.

Right now, we want to do the RT version, which means real time, instead of using algorithms, it actually use the actual location of the vehicle.

And we need it to do that now because of our new digital ticketing app that's coming out.

They have their own standalone app and they have to have real time.

They can't use um the algorithm to make it work.

So this will actually show up more accurate information for our passengers.

Sounds great.

Motion to approve.

I guess maybe I'll have one question.

How many barrels do we know?

Is that number one?

Not for sure.

And it's old, old used oil.

The only reason we had the oil is we burned, we had a an actual burner type system that would burn old oil.

We no longer have that system in the in place now, so we have no need for the old oil, and we'd have to pay to have the oil expensive.

So he said he could use that.

Yeah, I thanks.
