We need options! We need real choice! We need DIVERSITY!
Taxpayer-subsidized government busses make it impossible for privately owned solutions to be economically viable, which leaves us with only one service provider.
And when that service provider fails for any reason, who suffers most? THE POOR who depend on mass transit to get to the only jobs they can find.
Getting to work in the morning is too important for too many people, to risk having government bureaucrats involved. Get the government out of the bus business so we can have reliable mass transit built on the diversity of the free market where anyone can start and offer bus service.
