Correct. Thanks. I don't recall now when they stopped running it. They were losing money for sure. Never very many people on the thing. Great deal at the time though. No better way to get to the lower end of Manhattan when you had to make a morning meeting. Wasn't real fast but you could count on it vs by road.
