I don't mind them trying to turn a profit, but if any private
organisation can do it better, faster and cheaper than any government
organisation, why doesn't every American city have fast, reliable,
extensive bus service rivalling that of Portland for around the same
price as Portland?  If you can replace TriMet and turn a profit, by
all means, give it a shot.  It'll be nice having double the coverage
for the short time that'll last.
