Transit drivers may not be subject to Federal Railroad Administration oversight, like truck drivers and airline pilots are governed by Federal regulations (the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and FAA, respectively).

Having said that, I do find it hard to believe that any transit authority would allow this kind of nonsense.

“A boy named Brittney”

The politically correct statement is: “A transgendered Person of Color.”

Public Unions should be banned. This person was arrested 4 times (and released) according to the report.
