Had the government not interfered with the "market" it would be possible to operate some transit systems at a profit by (1) not burdening them with unreasonable and punitive regulation, and (2) by the companies paying employees a competitive market wage--drivers earning somewhere around $10 to $15 an hour, a reasonable amount for what is essentially unskilled work.This is the range that most of the large contract operators pay. Academy is towards the bottom in pay, but I have heard multiple people say that their school is top notch. |
