From the transcript
And if we go up on a Wednesday, they, you know, or come back on a Monday, they, um, ideally it would be going up on a Wednesday, so you have the 2 days to do it. Um, maybe do some online courses for those kids that are traveling, um, so they can leave a little bit early. But I think that would work a little bit better for the main, um, non-school district portion of the community to be able to do our business, get our doctor's appointments and get our vehicle serviced, you know, having 2 days would really make the difference. And ridership-wise, I didn't ride the ferry when it went to Valdez because I don't want to drive that in the winter. Um, you know, going into Whittier is a totally different animal than going into Valdez.
