I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

Transportation planning has an unfortunate history of caring more about "choice riders" (of e.g. public transit) than people who use it out of necessity. Non-choice riders are forced to use the system no matter how bad, so there's no rush to improve it. This is wrong, both morally and scientifically

Found this young lady when looking through the 1966 UNB yearbook for electrical engineering photos. The reference to "A Little Bit of Soap" is to the song popular at the time, which she recorded on an album of campus talent put out by the UNB radio station. The song is up on Youtube.
