Toronto's current mayor did this early in his tenure after a massive number of complaints had been going up about the trains with malfunctioning cars on Line 2 during a heat wave. I remember riding those. It was torturous some days—especially when they'd get stuck in a tunnel.
He rode one, from end-to-end on the line, during the heatwave, in rush hour. He came out the other end drenched in sweat, jacket hanging in his hands, looking exhausted and quickly set about resolving that problem. (Nuanced details left aside, so don't hang me fellow Torontonians)
