You know, during COVID? >> Cuz there was like a hell of homeless people walking around my neighborhood. I was wondering where it was coming from and it's LAPD in downtown LA. They don't want to deal with them. So, they packed the the subway or the train and they would just send it all the way down and then at that time the stations stopped off in Azusa. So, they all just come out like zombies. >> Train is different from like overseas. That's intentional dropping.
