As an (admittedly subjective) example, you should have seen the Cooper bus lines here in Queens just before the MTA took them over to complete MTA Bus. The buses were in abysmal condition, and the published timetables were mere suggestions. More than one Jamaica Buses operator told me Cooper stopped purchasing parts and/or making major repairs several months before the MTA took his companies over. That's an extreme case, but it does illustrate what big private sector businesses will try to get away with...

Bad example. The private bus companies were guaranteed a profit by NYCDOT and had no incentive to provide adequate service.
