You sound bitter 
Anyway, my take, even if the route was opened. My prediction will
still be same as my earlier post :
Dont know much about backgrounds of both companies. Just guessing
that the company that gets picked is the one that has more intimate
ties with the ruling cadre, e.g. close friends or relatives on the
B.O.D or as a shareholder.
Whether which i feel should have to route, whichever can promise
better value to commuters has my vote.
