RE.  Paragraph xiv. I don't agree with this concern over
"cross-subsidization".  This comes from conservative economists
who don't understand transit networks. Look what happened in the
UK when they dismantled networks --- large ridership losses.

The two most heavily used systems in North America, Toronto and Montreal,
are "cross-subsidized".
