My bus is private and gets almost no government subsidies. The 10% or so of operating costs that the state gives is not nearly enough to make up for taxes (diesel, business taxes, etc).
???
So why do you feel that your private bus is entitled to more subsidies to "make up" for taxes?
That doesn't make sense.
The taxes my bus pays (esp diesel) are funneled into useless government boondoggles like your choo choo trains.
