We were talking about how many types of transportation would be hard to pass a profit if held in private hands. I don't know what you are trying to argue here, I wasn't disagreeing with you. I mentioned the Jitney as a private carrier that was successful, and privately run, and that in an area where there is public transportation, the LIRR. But then I said that was because they had a niche. What you are saying is not untrue, and I never said it wasn't true. But it has nothing to do with the Jitney.I'm not disagreeing with you, but Hampton Jitney wasn't a good example because I was specifically referring to places with no public transit and no fare regulation. HJ is an example of something else entirely, a private carrier that is successful despite a publicly-funded alternative. |
