    Privatized public transportation rarely works. At most you'll find some success stories of companies that partnered with a government to jointly service a transportation line.

      No, it always works. Nationalised transport doesn't work though.

        Thanks for providing these examples. They completely changed my mind about public transportation privatization

          The example is across the channel - the whole of EU. And Japan as well. One must blind to think that nationalised transport can work.

            In France, nationalized transport worked for decades before rail was opened to private compagnies circa 2014 (would have to check exactly). Since then, no one has been able to afford a train ticket. You have no idea what you're talking about
