It is not something that is common, that is available, and that is another thing that were trying to make sure that we dont wind up with only one manufacturer, that with provide the vehicle. Right. There is still a level of customization required even at 25, because i know that is one of the issues that caltrain had with going to 50, the costs that there are not as Many Companies that build.
