a) it would not exist then.  No public transportation system can self-support (roads also do not self-support in the vast majority of cases).

b) this  may not help anyway - have you not been to a mall or lunch counter or CVS lately?  Or perhaps your stores are the 1% where they are able to somehow employ only friendly and efficient workers?  those I visit in both DC and MD are not that way.[/quote]

Dulles Greenway is private and is doing great. If they privatized metro they could get rid of the entire union staff, pensions etc... and operate efficiently and at a better cost.[/quote]

I think that's apples and oranges.  Metro's income has never been able to cover its operating budget.[/quote]
