no, not the profitability--what I mean is they *need* ownership of their own land (at minimum) to do justice to their rail
Yeah, that's Hong Kong's problem--too small areawise for there to be multiple transit providers

plenty of different private transit companies in the Tokyo area, the Nagoya area, the Osaka area, etc
-
Osaka and Nagoya both have Kintetsu - Osaka is if anything too competitive (it's the world's #2 urban rail network).

by "too competitive" what problems are you referring to?
-
Post-Amagasaki stories about how JR West overvalues punctuality as a competitive edge. Also, lack of coordination causing Shigaraki.

Amagasaki happened once fam; what is shigaraki?

so...two disasters over the course of the last 25 years? disasters which have more causes than "competition," to boot
-
Yes, but there really are complaints that JR West overvalues punctuality and compromises on safety.
