"I was astonished that bus drivers... were being attacked apparently often enough so that a job action was threatened."

"I regret that that has to be done, but you can't ask somebody to drive a bus if you are going to be assaulted, and you don't know who is going to get on your bus and do so."

"Metro bus and rail service plays an indispensable role in the day-to-day operations of the Federal Government."
