What has (or hasn't) he done as Transportation Secretary that you didn't like?

Yes. Go look at his performance in the 2020 primaries. He had negative approval ratings among progressives, especially in the the 18 - 40 range. It was even worse among black and latino voters.
He's been a corporate shill/donor class representative for the bulk of his professional and political life, and his political and policy positions tend to shift with the winds.
