The iron law of urban politics: Not every elected official who rides transit will be a good elected official. But every good elected city official will ride transit.

This isn't Switzerland, this is America, and we're at WAR with our politicians. If we see them in public, we will DEMAND answers, and they WILL provide them. If they don't like it, then either stop acting like a hypocritical shithead, or stop taking performative trips on public transport to demonstrate how woke you are. If you are an American politician, you should be confronted publicly, and if you don't like it, stop supporting policies that you can't defend, or stay hidden. But if you go out in public, you better be prepared to defend yourself.
