Thank you for the information.
Are you able to get the fuel data that I requested:

Also can you supply fuel consumption in gallons of diesel/gasoline (or
total cost & average price per gallon) for the bus system and electric
consumption in kw-hr (or total cost & average price per kw-hr) for both the
light rail and streetcar? For the same FY 2002.

Thanks
JK
