As I noted in previous posts, I tend to make a difference between private operator that serves as a contractor for a publicly funded service, and an operator that gets no direct subsidy and pays for their capital costs...As for the wages, it's an interesting issue as I've jokingly said that the ideal situation would be the low costs of the private sector but with government operation so that any profits are reinvested into improving service. Mind you, it's highly unlikely that would ever happen. Even without a union, it's unlikely that you'd see Amtrak pay what a private operator would pay because there's an expectation that the government shouldn't pay low wages. |
