Privatisation of public transport has been disastrous for the public interest and all credible commentators are agreed on that and it is impossible to believe that Richard Alsopp could be unaware of that.
How on earth has the cramming of more customers onto Victoria's privatised public transport system, as a result of the Victorian Government's irresponsible encouragement of population growth, prove that a privatised system works better than a publicly owned system?
For years it has been costing Victorian taxpayers more than what it cost when it was government owned, and have got a far worse service in return.
