     § 1727.  Investigations and subpoenas.
        (a)  Procedure.--The board may investigate all means of
     transportation and the management thereof, the enforcement of
     its resolutions, rules and regulations and the action, conduct
     and efficiency of all officers, agents and employees of the
     authority. In the conduct of investigations, the board may hold
     public hearings on its own motion and shall do so on complaint
     or petition of any municipality in the metropolitan area. Each
     member of the board shall have power to administer oaths, and
     the secretary, by order of the board, shall issue subpoenas to
     secure the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the
     production of books and papers relevant to investigations and to
     any hearing before the board or any member thereof, or any
     officers' committee or employees' committee, appointed by the
     board to hear any complaint of an officer or employee who has
     been discharged or demoted.
        (b)  Enforcement.--Any court of record of this Commonwealth
     or any judge thereof, either in term time or vacation, upon
     application of the board or any member thereof may, in his
     discretion, compel the attendance of witnesses, the production
     of books and papers and giving of testimony before the board or
     before any member thereof or any officers' committee or
     employees' committee appointed by the board by attachment for
     contempt or otherwise in the same manner as the production of
     evidence may be compelled before the court.
