It’s time to privatize Gotham’s buses In London, the government designs bus routes and sets bus fares—and invites each would-be private operator to submit the fixed annual subsidy it would require to provide service along a bundle of routes for a three- to five-year period. The winning bidder earns its profit by keeping costs below the fixed price paid by the government. …New York could follow that model for some of its larger, high-traffic bus routes. The city could limit any one owner’s routes to a small percentage of the system-wide total to cut the risks of monopoly and collusion—and could open routes to small local companies as well as to international bidders. The city could even split some routes among several different companies and provide access to financing so as to offer owner-operated buses a chance to compete. Since the owners would be the drivers, they wouldn’t strike. http://www.effwa.org/main/article.php?article_id=1248

The consumer rip-off – Walter Williams -  Americans pay four times the world price for sugar as a result of tariffs and quotas on foreign imports.  …Part of the unstated mission of some federal agencies in Washington is the enforcement of collusions. That includes the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture, Justice and Labor. One of the surest ways to detect a seller collusion is to see whether there are statutory minimum prices, import restrictions and production quotas. http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4514
