I'm trying to make it realistic oversight of transit, which will probably be by people who have little or no knowledge of operations; in reality, I doubt that they would even look at track maps.

Realistically, you're dealing with people like a (former) legislator from Flushing who wondered aloud why there were delays on trains because they run on rails. Sadly, I'm pretty sure she wasn't in a minority of legislators who didn't take time to learn about the field they're charged with oversight of. Lack of knowledge and will to learn and investigate is probably why lobbyists, who always come equipped with a very simple explanatory model, are able to succeed with legislators, particularly legislators whose candidacies are funded by such lobbyists.
