One thing bothered me. Jax Brisack was one of the leaders of this fight. They wrote a book about it! But they were omitted from the film.

Some feedback from our riders... 😊

💖 "A customer with a cane was assisted by an operator in entering the railcar from the University station."

💖 "They just observed an operator give amazing, clear, and kind instructions to a group of tourists getting off the 24, on how and where to catch the 40."

Yesh, those "My ancestor gave you [a thing]" or "You used to have [thing]" calls were real stressors when I was on the job. If we didn't have it, I could occasionally trace the thing to a peer organization, which was a huge relief.
