Remember, public transit came about not because of subsidy, but because of private enterprise. It fell under subsidy and state control due to increasing government taxation and regulations, plus increasing organized labor demands in concert with same, resulting in costs outweighing incoming revenue.

I never claimed you wrote these rules. I did claim you were attempting to justify them; of course if I mistook you, I apologize for that. My stance vis-à-vis said rules is that they exist solely for the sake of control from the top and need to be wiped out.

I don’t think that even the Railroad Companies made money on passenger service, their money was in hauling freight.
