And we are going to keep that holiday theme coming for you over the next couple of minutes. Being joined right now with Anna, because we got to talk all about MCTS. Your buses are going to have a little bit of extra holiday cheer here coming up soon. Tell me all about this. Hi, Haley. Thank you for having us. I'm so excited to be unveiling the holiday bus soon. You didn't have on your poll sugar cookies. Now, that would be my favorite. And actually, when we transform the bus this year, the theme is going to be Milwaukee County. cookie transit system. So we will be providing a very sweet theme this holiday season with our bus. And I can't wait to share the magic with you. I can't wait to get to see it. I know we're about a week out from that reveal, but tell me more about this experience. You know, you pay the regular bus fare, but then you're really almost transformed into a winter wonderland. Oh, it's going to be so relaxing. You're going to get on. It's magical, charming. Our employees have gone way out on this initiative. They really wanted to give back some joy to the community. We have people lined up, mechanics, route supervisors, bus operators. Who are going to be the elf community. So you'll be seeing quite a few familiar faces and also some that you'd never get to see because they're always behind the scenes, but they will be out with our writers providing cheer throughout the holiday season. I guess just, you know, how fun is it for you guys to get to do something like this? To just, I imagine, make some smiles appear on people's faces and help them feel that holiday spirit, even on an everyday task like riding the bus. Yes, it's so great. They'll be able to take photos with families. We'll have some photo frames. We'll have some props. And I do want to make sure I say that we couldn't do this without the sponsorship of our partner Lamar, who actually donated the holiday bus decoration. So you can be sure to enjoy it. It's going to go all the time through. December 23rd. So it starts on December 19th. There's a really special unveiling and we hope that everyone can join us. It's at Uptown 56 Park over on North Avenue. There'll be sweet treats in line with the theme, thanks to Venture Brewery. And there will also be some Really delicious cookies to go with the cookie express. And that's about all I can tell you without giving out too much information. But that's at 4:30 to 6. If you want to create some new family memories, family traditions, come out to the unveiling, enjoy some music, some sweets, some activities, and some definite. Photo opportunities, if you're looking for that family Christmas card, we're going to give you some really good backdrops for that. And aren't we always looking for a good photo op, especially this time of year? So I think that sounds like so much fun. Again, I can't wait to see these buses unveiled and have them kind of just going throughout the area. Sure to be a good time. And I thank you so much for taking a few minutes to chat with us here on Fox 6 Now. Thanks, Haley. Thank you.

What is your favorite side dish? We've got stuffing, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. I love stuffing, so I am truly loving kind of the answers here that are coming in so far. Again, I'm trying to think what else I would pick. Mashed potatoes are great. Mac and cheese is also great.
