It was a self fulfilling prophesy - the city destroyed the private companies by refusing to either sufficiently cover their operating expenses or to allow for fare increases. It also failed to live up to its contractual obligation to provide new buses. The private companies did not fail on their own - the city GOVERNMENT drove them to failure!But with all those subsidies how can that be called a private industry? With the city supplying buses and an operating subsidy, and the 'private' lines using those subsidies to provide service which is subpar when compared to NYCT services, then what was the point of the private operators? It seems they didn't provide any cost competitiveness with the city's other buses, so other than enriching the superfluous management and ownership of the PBLs, why did they bother with these private operations? |
