I think we have come to, you know, a good spot here. You know, in my mind, I might prefer to move a little faster towards this solution that generates more revenue and that, in my mind, simplifies the fare structure by eliminating the single ride option.”

“Voice identified” counts the meetings where we could attribute a member’s voice. A meeting missing there means we couldn’t attribute it, not that they were absent.
