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. -- .''`.
