I also said that the IRT and BMT were killed by the government intervention and regulation of the fare, not to mention building the IND to compete with them to kill them. But I also said, that is not to say a combined BMT/IRT would still be here today had the government not done that.As for commuter and intercity bus service around the country, that is quite different than rail rapid transit. There is no doubt that "some" bus companies can make it....Hampton Jitney here in NY being one of them. But then again, they aren't a "necessity" either, and cater more to a higher income/paying crowd. Those people can pack onto the LIRR trains too instead if the Jitney wasn't there, but they pay for the more luxury the Jitney provides. Greyhound is another one...and again, they don't have the infastructure that rail transportation has. |
