But imo, I believe the government have some responsiblities to
the citizens in term of public transportation.
This is a necessity. Government should keep the fare low and
affordable for all of the citizens to use and not to pluck it to
profitability.
Privatizing the transportation companies is meant to keep the
competitiveness, maintain or improve the standard and keep the fare
low and affordable/
In the end, we only see the opposite. So much so for our
government's reasoning.
Keeping fares low is just one part.
By keeping fares artificially low, you're simply passing costs
to yourself in other ways.
In fact, privatisation is supposed to maximise efficiency.
It fails here because of the little room in the market for more
players, and the established positions of the 2 big players.
Put yourself in the govt's shoes. Can you do a better job?
