FirstGroup operates buses all over UK, Ireland, Canada, USA--including Greyhound (and thus Peter Pan) and some 50,000 public school buses...

...but that may change as they now own 30% of the South Western Franchise (FirstGroup, ofc, has the rest), which I've always used when in UK

MTR is also interested in cornering markets (they merged w the Kowloon-Canton Railway to monopolize rail in HK), but seems to follow thru...
-
...which is to say, once they've cornered a market, they try to *GROW* it instead of just neglecting it
-
Investing heavily in their station environments and surroundings, adding new routes, etc. Similar to Japanese rail companies...
-
...but not as heavily diversified as some of them (consider Tokyu or Kintetsu, which--among their other ventures--manufacture trains)
-
Anyway--this is just a rambling thread against the "captive audience" mentality of operating a monopoly. Gross waste of opportunity.

I'm saying *breed* your cash cows instead of *starving* them
